Karen Miller - Santa Clara, CA

Craig and Ann Gaydos allege that over a period of months in 2001 and 2002, teacher Karen Miller caused physical and emotional injury to their daughter Paige. Paige has Asperger's syndrome, a neurological disorder similar to autism, and was in Miller's special-education classroom at Eisenhower Elementary in Santa Clara.


The alleged abuses range from smearing a burrito in Paige's face and hair, to pushing her on the floor and sitting on her.

Andrea Tytell, a special-education attorney representing the Gaydos family, says that six other Cupertino Union parents have come forward and are willing to testify about other incidents of abuse by Miller. Tytell says that the Cupertino Union school district was complicit, because officials repeatedly backed up Miller when concerns arose and regularly assured the Gaydos family that nothing was wrong.
