Shannon Smith, a former aide at Kiddie Academy of Millersville in Anne Arundel County, has been charged with second-degree child abuse and assault following a violent incident with a 2-year-old boy on Tuesday, Dec. 6.
It is alleged that Smith could be seen in a video from the Kiddy Academy grabbing the child by his arm, causing him to fall, then dragging him over to a cot, where she forcefully placed him down.
She has since been terminated from her position.
Officials noted that Kiddie Academy had its license suspended, which is under appeal. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
