Nebraska, USA. Here's the article: https://omaha.com/news/state-and-regional/crime-and-courts/nebraska-city-teacher-2-aides-charged-with-child-abuse
TL;DR: Five teachers have been accused (three of them charged) with repeated physical and psychological abuse of an autistic teen with a heart disease and the mental development of a five year old. Those charged are middle-aged women, one having almost a thirty year teaching career.
The autistic teen was coming home often with bruises and wearing soiled pants. The parents placed a tape recorder on his person and recorded several encounters of verbal abuse, physical abuse, and even multiple teachers pelting him with dodge balls. He also has a heart disease and was forced to do physical activities he shouldn't have been doing with the condition.
The attorney for the main culprit is painting a picture of an angelic educator whose career has no other issues...which means she's been really good at getting away with this stuff.
