Description
Video showing a woman repeatedly hitting a nonverbal boy as he was strapped into a harness on a bus has prompted Englewood Police to arrest her on suspicion of felony assault.
Editor's Note: The video contains images of an adult striking a child and may be difficult for some people to watch.
The video is now a catalyst into deeper scrutiny into what could have been months of abuse on the bus against several children who live with developmental disabilities.
Court records show Kiarra Jones, a bus aide with Littleton Public Schools, was arrested April 4 and has bonded out of the Arapahoe County Detention Center. A background check shows this is her first arrest.
The video shows Jones sitting next to a boy who is 10 years old. Jones appears to elbow the boy in the midsection and then strike him in the face with her fist. Then Jones appears to stomp on his feet.
The incident occurred March 18, according to an affidavit obtained by 9NEWS.
