Shocking moment teacher punches autistic boy in the face leaving him with concussion (xpost from GD)

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/shocking-moment-teacher-punches-autistic-7692090

This is the shocking moment a teacher punched an autistic pupil in the head, leaving him with a concussion and a bruised eye.

Anatoly Veltman, now 13-years-old, is reportedly too scared to go near the school building in New York and is now home-schooled after the attack two years ago.

He was eating his lunch at PS 225 in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, when he was attacked by 59-year-old Milton Parker....

The victim's dad, Anatoly Veltman Sr, told Eyewitness News: "My son, now even when we pass by the school, he runs away from me, he's afraid of the school building since what happened to him."

Surprising that this is just now coming to broader attention 2 years after the event. I'm interested to find out how much the school will be giving to Mr. Veltman. On the surface, it seems that the training the school gave its paraprofessionals was poor.
