Parents Sue Texas Daycare Over Alleged Teacher-Encouraged Child Fight Incident
Parents Heather and Richard Harris filed a lawsuit against Arka Montessori Academy in Fort Worth, Texas, alleging that substitute teacher Chynia Johnson encouraged her son to physically attack their four-year-old son, U.H., during an April 27 incident. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Johnson grabbing and shaking U.H., then prompting her son to hit and kick him. The child sustained bruises and emotional distress, leading to his withdrawal from the daycare. The lawsuit also claims another teacher witnessed but did not intervene.
