The teacher never moved and could have easily had her in the circle and held her hand the entire time. No context would excuse this treatment.

Context is always necessary. None of us have any idea what the backstory is here. What if her parents explicitly told the school and staff their daughter is not to be touched under any circumstances, has threatened legal action against the district in the past, etc. (which is definitely a possibility). Some parents are brutal in this regard, literally threatening teachers and staff daily with legal action. You have no idea what you’re talking about, based on a video clip alone. (Source: spouse works in special Ed and deals with these kids/parents all the time).

All that article stated was that the father believed it not to be malicious but rather an unfortunate accident. I go to Lisbon and will be back after Christmas break, I can ask the teacher in this clip, who by the way is very nice and friendly, what happened. i should be back with an update in a few weeks.

I too would like to hear more context, but Reddit doesn’t do context well.
