Horrifying footage shows autistic student, 10, being beaten by woman on Colorado school bus as heartbroken parents of three different children claim teaching aid, 29, left kids with vicious bruises and marks

Horrifying footage shows a ten-year-old autistic boy being beaten by his teaching aide, who allegedly abused at least three children for months, leaving them with bruises and marks.

Kiarra Jones, 29, has been charged with third-degree assault on an at-risk person last week and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 3.

In the video provided by Rathod Mohamedbhai LLC Attorneys at Law, the firm representing three families, Jones can be seen repeatedly punching the child, who has severe autism and no verbal ability, while they sat together on the school bus.

Heartbroken parents of children at the Joshua School in Englewood spoke out on Tuesday, alleging that the abuse on the school bus had persisted for months.

'How dare you fail my son in such an astonishingly preventable way?' Jessica Vestal, mother of Dax, who was seen being cruelly beaten in the school bus video, said as she wiped away tears.

Three kids were allegedly abused by Jones when they traveled on a specialized school bus operated by Littleton Public Schools.

They were on the bus every day between their homes and the Joshua School, a specialized school offering one-on-one instruction for autistic students.

According to Cyndy Lystad, executive director of the Joshua School, the Joshua School operates independently from Littleton Public Schools.

A video from the school bus on March 18 shows Jones elbowing Dax in his stomach first, then striking him in the face before slamming the ten-year-old's head into the bus window.

The boy was beaten so hard that his head flung back to hit the seat, investigators who watched the video wrote in documents.

I’m not saying they are good at it. But they use corporal punishment when they want to discipline.

I’ll bet the district never conducted a decent backround check.

And that if it had, it wouldn’t have hired her in the first place.

Because she hates white people-and defenseless children can’t fight back. It’s also that she is soulless, evil and headed straight to h£ll.

Not cited is whether all her victims were white...

...but ALL of the injury pics in the article depict white skin, and they were suspiciously sure to include a pair of minority parents in that ‘concern’ picture for the media, weren’t they?

Former employers are often very restricted on any remarks they make about someone who used to work for them.
Some former bosses have been sued for describing just how bad a particular employee used to be.
Similar to the liberal push that won’t allow a property manager to ask if someone has ever been in jail.

The only acceptable form of ‘reparations’’ is one-way coach airfare back to Africa.

I did rather appreciate the ‘reminder’ that she’s innocent unless proven guilty... We have a video of her attacking a small, autistic child for no damned good reason, and they include this in the press release? Yep. That’s where we are as a culture... Open Season on whites.

When I was in school 50 years ago, black kids (well boys, I don’t know about the girls) were deathly afraid of getting in trouble, lest their fathers would beat the crap out of them with belts. (Curiously, the black kids I knew generally lived in intact nuclear families. Not sure when that disintegrated). So harsh physical discipline is a cultural thing.

But what this teachers’ aide was up to wasn’t discipline, just opportunistic cruelty. Working with autistic children requires massive patience and self discipline — she doesn’t have it, and shouldn’t be in that job. God help her own kids if she has any.

She needs to be introduced quietly to the fathers of the children and find out what real bullying is

The fathers would also be in danger from the wildebeest.

We need laws in every state that mandate education institutions are not allowed to adjudicate internally any actions that meet the definition of a criminal offense under the laws of the state, that they must immediately turn the matter over to law enforcement authorities. The reasons are two fold. First to insure actual offenses do not escape legal punishment and second to insure all the rights of the accused are protected as well. Education institutions have been failing on both of those counts.
