A teacher at Allen High School in Allen, Texas, Susanne Means, 46, was indicted on child abuse charges for allegedly burning, choking and punching a mentally challenged student at the Lowery Freshman Center.
The father of the 14-year-old said he notified police when he found burn marks on the child’s buttock.
A doctor confirmed the burns.
Means denied the allegations to officers when she was interview March 13, 2008.
When officers searched her classroom they found equipment of various cookwares and a stove.
I am from Allen and am shocked to hear this happened. Our town is not known for violence and our school system has be presented with numerous honors. I know it’s sometimes stressful to work with mentally challenged children but to abuse them is a bit ridiculous. The only time I have heard of something like this is come out of Allen was when a mentally challenged student severely beat up a teacher in an elementary school
