I have to admit that I'm conflicted about how I feel about this specific incident.
If I was accused of something that I had not done, I'd be very upset to be getting tried in the court of public opinion before getting my day in court. Even if the teacher is found innocent of these charges, her career has been placed in the balance. Being a teacher, I identify with the belief that most teachers do not go into the teaching profession looking for a big paycheck - they teach because it's their passion. And, teachers of special needs children are exceptionally passionate about the work that they do. So, it would be a serious loss if these charges ended up incorrect and a dedicated educator suffers. If it's proved that the teacher lost her ability to work with that child, the she should immediately suffer the fullest consequences.
On the other hand; if I was the parent of a special needs child and I witnessed my child being bullied by an ADULT!? (man or woman) , then I wouldn't be capturing video of their actions. The video captured would be on the dashcam of a police cruiser with me getting arrested after delivering a really, really good old fashioned ass-kicking to the adult(s) who made a serious error in judgement to bully my kid!
