Video from an Ohio school’s hallway camera shows a school employee chasing a 3-year-old down the hall and hitting him in the head from behind, knocking him to the ground, an attorney for the boy’s family alleges.
After the child is on the ground, the employee at Rosa Parks Early Learning Center in Dayton, Ohio, picks the child up by his ankles and carrying him down the hall with his head towards the floor, the August video shows.
The employee has since been removed by the district. The child is nonverbal and autistic, said the attorney for the boy’s parents, Michael Wright.
I think “plainly” should substitute for allegedly in these cases. Fine whatever the government hasn’t yet deemed whether they will face any official sanction, but it’s not like even the court is the final arbiter of actual guilt or innocence—there are all kinds of reasons a person might be found guilty or not that have nothing to do with the truth. Someone who pleas a 20 year sentence down to 6 months probation is “guilty” of nothing but cutting their losses, yet we don’t have to use “allegedly” about them.
They did it whether they ever even faces charges or not. So they are plainly guilty.
