The lawsuit filed Friday by Debbie and Jimmy Hatfield states O'Neill slapped, pinched, poked and shoved the girl, now 13, when she did not respond to O'Neill's commands, and that O'Neill called her "fat ass" and "a waste of air."
The Hatfields also claim their daughter, who had half of her brain surgically removed as an infant because of extensive damage and cannot walk, talk or see, came home from school with bruises that they attribute to the rough treatment handed out by O'Neill.
O'Neill was arrested in 2008 on charges that she abused her profoundly disabled students; she was acquitted after a trial. She also kept her job with the school district and struck a deal with the state that will allow her back in the classroom.
