A Florida special needs teacher who suffered serious injuries when she was attacked by a five-year-old, had been hospitalized by the same child several time before, her teacher's union claimed,

Last week Trishia Meadows, 43, a teacher at Pines Lakes Elementary in Pembroke Pines, needed to be stretchered out of her classroom after allegedly being attacked by the five-year-old special needs student.

According to a police report, the incident began when the troublesome child and a four-year-old student were throwing objects and flipping chairs in a pre-K classroom.

Meadows, whos is mom to a young daughter, took the rowdy five-year-old into a 'cool down' room, where she was attacked.

Ana Fusco, President of Broward Teachers Union, told WSVN.com that the child used all his strength to take Meadows down, injuring her so severely she will likely need surgery.

Meadows contacted authorities and when they found her she was breathing but unresponsive.

The teacher of 13 years was taken to a local hospital on a stretcher where she remains hospitalized.

Fusco says that Meadows' injuries from the attack were so severe that she had to be intubated.

Now Fusco is demanding answers from the school after claiming that Meadows has been attacked on three separate occasions by the same student.

There are many psychotic little children in public schools all over the country. The preferred euphemism, of course, is “special needs”.

Heaven help those who get in the way of this disturbed child when he grows up.

“Special needs”

Translation: Undisciplined spoiled brat

I struggle to understand how a five year old has enough strength to take down a healthy adult. Hurt them with their teeth or nails or bruise them with kicks, sure. but knock them to the ground so violently that they need to be hospitalized and intubated? Crazy.

It’s a shame this lady took this hideous monster child into the room alone, they said in earlier stories she is a small person.

Yes, the obvious question must be asked, and I believe is still unanswered. The answer would be an obvious reason why the child was not disciplined or kicked out.

Exactly. Give me a week. I could snap 95% of these little brats into shape.

Its not their fault really. They have terrible parents.

Student attacks on teachers happen way more than what is reported. And that’s because Job #1 for administrators is PR. Everything else is secondary.

Quick story: A teacher friend of mine was hurt so bad by a student that she had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. Surely that would make the evening news, right? Well, it did. The school district released a news item saying that a district teacher had tripped in the hallway, and bumped her head.

“Good grief. Not the kid’s first time with this teacher.”

not only is it not the first time but all three times the brat sent the teacher to hospital with injuries. That child is a bad seed and does not need to be in school.

Metmom, you may have already pinged this one out but this is an update.

You should have explained to Anakin Skywalker that the ass-kicking does not include use of light sabers, master Yoda.

Possibly a small adult (say 5 foot) and a large 5 year old (a little under 4 foot) would put the height difference at about one head’s difference. Add a surprise attack, psychotic rage attack and an off balanced adult and the possibility for severe injury goes WAY up.

The short answer: They can't be.

This type of thing happens to my wife on a regular basis. I, on the other hand, would've been fired after the first incident.

No, it is much more likely the kid is severely psychotic or mentally ill. This mainstreaming of such kids into regular classrooms is just insane. These kids constantly disrupt the classroom and make it impossible for the other kids to learn and for the teacher to teach.
