Robert Brito Jr. - Socorro, TX

A former middle school teacher was arrested Monday, accused of slamming a special-needs student's head onto a desk.


Socorro Independent School District police arrested Robert Brito Jr. on a charge of injury to a child after a parent made a report to authorities.

Brito, 53, resigned from his teaching position at Salvador H. Sanchez Middle School in Socorro on Friday before his arrest, said Daniel Escobar, spokesman for the Socorro school district.

According to the document, Brito was upset because a boy was talking and would not let the other children listen to the video. Brito continued to ask the student to be quiet and place his hands on the desk or "he was going to do it for him."


"The victim did not listen and (Brito) stood up, walked towards the victim and grabbed him by the back of his neck. (Brito) in an aggressive manner and with force slammed the victims (sic) head on the student's desk," the affidavit stated.

The document stated at least one witness told police that after the assault, the boy appeared to be scared and in pain and stayed with his hands outstretched on the desk. The document stated there were no visible injuries reported by the boy's parent.
