A teacher’s aide at a White Oak elementary school faces charges after reports that a child was assaulted.
Allegheny County Police say the incident involving a 5-year-old happened last Thursday at Francis McClure Elementary School.
Video shows 53-year-old Amy Kevicki grabbing the child “by the back of the neck and shoving him forward with force to the ground.”
Police say that the child was ignored by Kevicki as she walked toward a door to the building.
They add the child was not injured.
After speaking with the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office, Kevicki has been charged with simple assault and endangering the welfare of a child, along with summary harassment.
Police learned of the incident after a ChildLine report.
