COCONUT CREEK, Fla. -- A Coconut Creek teacher's aide is under investigation after an autistic student was attacked with a metal chair at school earlier this month, police said.
The 17-year-old student's mother, Sandy Teich, said her world has been turned upside down after hearing what happened to her son, Michael.
The incident happened at Monarch High School on May 6, police said. According to Teich and police, a teacher's aide threw a chair at the boy during a confrontation in the gym.
Teich said her son's injuries were minor, but the incident has taken an emotional toll. She said she has asked the school board to remove Michael from the school.
Police said they have turned the case over to prosecutors and have recommended the aide be charged with child abuse.
