Police suspended the unnamed teacher from duty on charges of maltreating a disabled minor following an investigation that uncovered episodes of physical and psychological violence including kicking, slapping, shaking, pushing, threatening and offending the child. The probe began following a report by the mother of the boy, who attends a school in the northern Lazio city of Viterbo.
