Little Amaria Clark is a second grader at Airbase Elementary School in Miami-Dade County. She came from the medical foster system before being adopted by Mr. and Mrs. William and Adah Clark. Still underweight, developmentally delayed, and with other medical problems, she has also previously been deemed eligible for an IEP due to her medical conditions making her an ESE student, even requiring physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology (speech therapy). She's still under the care of physicians for her medical condition.
On this particular day on September 29, 2021, her PRIOR teacher decided to make unwarranted, unprovoked, surprise physical contact with little Amaria, approaching Amaria from behind and injuring Amaria with the teacher's intentional unwanted and non-justified contact with this little seven-year-old girl. The reason the teacher was Amaria's PRIOR teacher is that Mrs. Clark had just had Amaria REMOVED from this teacher's class a few weeks prior due to the teacher's ongoing harassment, bullying, and targeting of Amaria, especially regarding matters concerning Amaria's medical condition. So on this day while Amaria was physically in the process of boarding the bus home with her older sibling already on the bus, while Amaria was physically in the process of stepping on the second step already in the bus, this teacher swooped in from behind and grabbed little Amaria from behind by Amaria's left arm, jerking Amaria suddenly and swiftly off the bus, to all surprise, enormous fear, and sheer terror of Amaria, to accuse Amaria of stealing a cellphone, which of course Amaria didn't do.
Afterward, when Amaria made it to the bus stop and exited the bus guarding her am and still in pain, the kids told Mrs. Clark what occurred. Mrs. Clark immediately took Amaria to her pediatrician, who referred Amaria to more acute car for x-rays. As you can see on the picture above, the swelling was evident. Thankfully, the teacher did not fracture Amaria's wrist but she did cause diagnosed tissue swelling and profuse pain. She did cause little Amaria to have to wear an Ace wrap on Amaria's arm. She did cause Amaria to be in even more fear of this teacher. She did cause little Amaria to be in fear in school in general. And if anyone should have known better it was Airbase Elementary School and this teacher.
NO parents should have to worry about the safety of their children in school from the EDUCATORS themselves! Parents are already worried about COVID in school with their children. Parents are already worried about school shooters at school with their children. Parents are already worried about bullying, assault, and harassment from other students at school with their children. The LAST thing parents should have to worry about at school with their children is the EDUCATORS and ADMINISTRATORS assaulting their children!!!
