Videos appear to show former autism society board member abusing a child
Quote:
The I-Team has obtained videos of what police said show a former local autism society board member abusing her non-verbal autistic child.
The videos appear to show Danny Fielding, a former treasurer and autism society board member, hitting and yelling expletives at her 16-year-old son, threatening to kill him, and hitting him with a toilet plunger.
Fielding is no longer a board member for the advocacy group. Trina Wood, president of the Kalamazoo Battle Creek Autism Society, said it was a mutual decision between the society and Fielding.
Fielding is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday for a pre-trial hearing.
She faces charges of child abuse in the fourth degree, a high-court misdemeanor.
