In Houston, Texas, an elementary school teacher allegedly instructed students in her class to beat a girl in their classroom. <\/p>\n
The girl\u2019s mother has filed a lawsuit against the teacher and others. The named defendants include the former school principal, Victor Nash, along with two teachers, Katrina Burnside and Nichole Hines.<\/p>\n
The young victim was in the first grade when the incident took place in May of 2010. Allegedly, classmates severely beat the young girl while their teacher looked on. She was beaten so badly that she still requires ongoing inpatient mental health assistance and has difficulty dealing with the trauma. <\/p>\n
Evidently, the victim had always struggled with cognitive issues and mental retardation. Her school\u2019s environment was known to be hostile to children with behavioral issues. If a child did not understand something and\/or misbehaved, he or she needed violent physical \u201cdiscipline\u201d to learn the lesson.<\/p>\n
