Several staffers at a Texas elementary school have been fired for allegedly bullying a six-year-old autistic girl and encouraging others to do the same, her father says.

Daniel Hall, 37, told KTRK that his daughter, Trinity, was 'manhandled' by a special education teacher and three teacher's aides at Jan Schiff Elementary in Fort Bend County on April 14.

Hall said he was not notified of the incident until weeks later, when Principal Tiffany Agina contacted him to inform him that the staffers had been fired.

The principal shared surveillance footage with Hall that allegedly showed the unidentified employees abusing Trinity.

'They visibly seen my daughter's teacher pull her hair and pulled her hair hard enough to where my daughter's beads came out her head,' Hall said.

'Also on camera, there's literally teachers encouraging other students to cause harm to my daughter.'

The Daily Mail has not been able to view the footage, but Hall said the staffers mocked Trinity and threw her lunch away.

'They babies, they don't know any better,' Trinity's aunt, Ashley Sneed, told the local news station.

Someone once pointed out that kids can be brutally cruel.

They can ... the adults in the room have among other jobs, that of teaching children not to be brutally cruel.

I just visited our 20 month old granddaughter. And her parents are considering home schooling. I’m so glad.
