Teaching is never an easy job, especially when you work withchildren. However, those children are also just trying to figure out how to deal with intense emotions and more than likely don’t know how to express them. Well, one teacher’s reaction to a student’s tantrum led her to handcuffs.

A Texas mother is finally speaking out about the former special education teacher who pleaded guilty to dragging her 5-year-old son child by his ankle down a hallway.

The incident happened back in 2022. The student was enrolled in the Early Childhood Special Education program at Tipps Elementary School when he threw a tantrum during gym class after he decided he didn’t want to a game other students were playing, according to court documents.

In the hallway, the boy laid on the floor, kicking and screaming (as children who have tantrums do). Then, surveillance camera footage shows Amber Hall, the teacher, grab him by his ankles and pull him down the hallway as his back slid across tile and carpet floors.
