A Colorado public school employee is accused of assaulting a child with severe autism on a school bus after his parents noticed unexplained injuries.

Reading about this type of thing constantly gets so infuriating and depressing.
Usually it is not the teachers but bus drivers and paraprofessionals who are poorly paid and have no idea about how to handle autistics.
