A special education teacher at an elementary school in Attleboro, Massachusetts, is facing multiple charges after she allegedly assaulted two 5-year-old autistic students.
One 5-year-old student was reportedly slapped in the face by Martin around 11:55 a.m., and another 5-year-old student was reportedly pushed and slapped by Martin around 1 p.m. Both children are autistic. The first incident was reported to school administrators between 1 and 1:30 p.m. that day, and the second incident came to light after school administrators began speaking with other staff members after the first incident had occurred.
Attleboro police detectives assigned to the investigation subsequently obtained a warrant for Martin's arrest charging her with two counts of assault and battery on a person with an intellectual disability. She was unable to be immediately arrested after the warrant was issued because she had left the state on a pre-planned vacation to Florida.
