Shelby Faulk, Para Educator Abuses Kids, Teacher Julio Torres, Does Not Report It

[Sugar Cookie]

A para educator who works at the Jean O’Dell Learning Center was arrested for child abuse on Tuesday, according to Bartow police.

Shelby Faulk, 31, of Winter Haven, is employed by the Polk County School Board and has worked at the Jean O’Dell Learning Center, a school for special needs children, for approximately four years.

She appeared in court on Wednesday and was ordered not to be around anyone under the age of 21.

All of the victims are students at the learning center.

In Dec. 2017, Faulk was working as a para educator in a learning center classroom.

One of the juvenile students wears a special jacket with D rings to secure him to a seat on the school bus for health reasons.

According to police, out of frustration, Faulk used the student’s medical jacket and pinned the student to the ground by placing a chair leg through the D rings, then sitting on the chair.

The juvenile student was not injured but was unable to move for an extended period of time.

During the same month, police say Faulk repeatedly pinched and pushed another student as a discipline measure because the student was “acting out.”

In January, Faulk reportedly repeatedly pushed another student multiple times, causing the student to fall to the floor.

No injuries were reported to any of the students.

None of the actions taken by Faulk were approved by school administration.

Faulk was arrested on Tuesday for negligent child abuse without bodily harm and false imprisonment of a child.

A school nurse and classroom teacher observed the incidents.

The school nurse reported Faulk’s actions.

The teacher, identified as Julio Torres, 54, of Lakeland, was arrested on Tuesday for failure to report child abuse.

Bartow police detectives are working with Polk County School Board staff to determine if there are any other incidents involving Faulk and Torres.

There is currently no indications that any other child abuse has occurred.

Abusing a child at home or at school is already despicable enough as it is.

Abusing a handicapped/special needs child is even lower.

Using his own medical equipment to perpetrate the abuse? Pinching and pushing other students? Beyond comprehension.

The teacher might as well have participated since his knee jerk reaction (that almost all of us have) to protect the kids is apparently nonexistent.

That isn’t something a slap on the wrist is going to change, either.

Fuck them, they need some abuse. Starting with that green eyed hooker. She needs the shit slapped out of her every hour for days. He needs a fucking dunce cap for being a dumb punk bitch. He’s just as guilty as that bitch.
