A Wildwood Elementary School teacher has been arrested after allegedly abusing a special needs student.
Sherri Evans Robinson, 55, was arrested Thursday by Sumter County sheriff’s deputies on a charge of cruelty to a child.
Robinson is accused of pulling the hair and ears of a special needs child to gain compliance, “knowing it caused the child pain and discomfort,” according to the sheriff’s office. She allegedly did this if the child “acted out.”
Robinson was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center and released after posting $2,000 bond.
Parents are trying to get more information on whether their children were also impacted.
