SANTA FE, New Mexico—
An elementary school teacher in Santa Fe, New Mexico is accused of dragging one of her special needs students down a hallway by his legs.
The school's security video shows the teacher grabbing the boy, who is blind, by the ankle of one leg and dragging him down the hall. While she is dragging him, another teacher joins and grabs his other leg. A third person watches and walks with the trio.
The first teacher is now on administrative leave, but both teachers seen dragging the boy are facing child abuse charges. The witness could possibly face charges for not reporting the incident.
The teacher told police officials that she dragged the boy because he did not want to move to another classroom.
