An aide with the Washtenaw Intermediate School District is facing child abuse and assault charges after he was accused of slapping and shoving two special education students under his care, Ann Arbor Police said.
The Pittsfield Township man is accused of slapping a 13-year-old autistic child with an open hand at Scarlett Middle School on Oct. 30.
Detective Sgt. Jeff Connelly said that during his investigation, a detective discovered another incident in which Beasley was accused of shoving a 12-year-old Ann Arbor girl with special needs to the gym floor at Scarlett in mid-October. The girl suffered bruises to her arm, and her parents received a letter about the incident signed by her teacher, police said.
Several parents of students in that class said the aide slapped, pinched, swore at and was physically abusive to children.
