Featured (Video Warning) Paraprofessional Arrested After Video Shows Her Beating Autistic Child On School Bus

[Sugar Cookie]

Former Littleton Public Schools paraprofessional, Kiarra Jones is charged with third-degree assault on an at-risk person.

Jones was caught on video assaulting a 10-year-old autistic boy on a school bus.

Jessica Vestal, the boy’s mother, said “I’m sure a lot of people would be like, ‘Why would you put this video of your kid out there?’ If you don’t look at it, the words don’t encompass it,” she added. “If he had to live through it, the least everybody else could do is pay attention to it so that it doesn’t happen again.”

In the video, the child, who The Denver Post is not identifying, is sitting calmly when Jones, unprovoked, is seen elbowing the boy in the stomach, punching him in the head and slamming his head into the bus window. At times, Jones’ actions in the video are obstructed by a bus seat, but Vestal said Jones also stomped on her son’s feet and hit his legs.

Englewood police have surveillance footage of three dates this year that show Jones allegedly abusing the disabled boy, according to an arrest affidavit.

In court documents, police who watched the videos described Jones punching the child so hard that his head flung back to hit the seat. Investigators wrote that the boy began crying and pushing Jones away, but she continued her alleged assault. Police said it appears in the three videos that Jones also assaulted another child.

The family is planning a lawsuit.

Colorado paraprofessional arrested after police say video shows her beating autistic child on school bus

Police arrested a former Littleton Public Schools paraprofessional last week after they said video footage revealed she beat a severely autistic, non-verbal child on a school bus for special needs …

She assaulted that child for no reason.

Only made it about 10 seconds into that video before I had to shut it off. This bitch is a complete waste of oxygen.

 

[Sugar Cookie]

No plea deals and I hope her life is ruined.

That young boy did nothing wrong and did not even hit her back.

This was not not the first time she assaulted a child.

He doesn't even seem to react to start with, like he is used to her beating on him and is just hoping she gets her jollies and moves on, but she is absolutely determined to get a reaction out of him, she doesn't even look around to see if someone might be watching. She's a psychopath, pure and simple.

 

[Sejanus]

Wretched manatee.
Club her legs till they shatter and leave her in bear country.
Her existence is offensive to humans.

I wanna FUCKN kill her. It’s not even my dollface, and I wanna kill her. If that were my Jacob, I’d be in prison. A matron manhandled Jacob last year, and was mad he took his socks and shoes off on the bus, which he always does. I get him off the bus, and he’s barefoot, and the bitch was REAL MAD, and refused to put his shoes and socks back on him, and I asked her nicely. Bubby sees me, and goes to me, and the cunt yanks my poor little guy by his arm, and roughly sits him down. I got on the bus, and got in her face. I was slapped by a matron at 4 for calling her a bitch (I have echolalia, but back then it was bad; I was still learning how to talk, and that cunt called me a bitch first). I almost beat that bitch up. As far as the matron that hit me, Mom almost fucked her up, but had her arrested for assault, and cunt can never work with kids again.

The video was obtained as part of an investigation after a parent raised concerns about bruising on their child. Attorney Qusair Mohamedbhai, who represents at least two families whose children ride the bus, released the March 18 video to the media on Tuesday.

“The abuses of special needs children continues to occur because school districts treat this community as a burden rather than a blessing,” Mohamedbhai said. “School districts routinely fail to train and support those who work with special needs student populations.”


According to the law firm, the students were transported to The Joshua School on a bus provided by Littleton Public Schools. Because they are nonverbal, the students were unable to tell anyone of the abuse.

During a news conference on Tuesday, families of those children said they’ve been raising concerns about injuries to their children since last August and that Littleton Public Schools initially said it found no issues.

Littleton Public Schools released a communication to families on Tuesday afternoon saying Jones was hired in August 2023 after passing a background check and was fired on March 19, the day after the incident. The school district said she had "very limited access" to students during her employment.

"This kind of behavior cannot be and is not tolerated," the communication says. "As parents, you trust us with the well-being of your children and you should never have to worry about them being harmed when they are in our care."

I’m a little confused. You wrote that you got him off the bus and he was barefoot. Then why didn’t you simply put his shoes and socks back on him yourself rather than asking “nicely” for an already irritated aide. Obviously there’s still no excuse for her allegedly man handling your son, but still.

she had "very limited access" to students

I wouldn't want to see what would have happened if her access hadn't been "very limited". Obviously she used her time with them to its full advantage.

My son is in special Ed, has been for the past 2.5 years. His old school was an hour away and I drove him EVERY SINGLE DAY. 4 hours a day in the car, it gave me migraines but so help me god if someone hurt him I would never be ok. Thankfully his school he started in September is less than 5 minutes away but unless you can unbuckle yourself and get off the bus or tell me if someone hurt you -you can’t take the bus.

i watched the video and didn't see any reasons for her to be even the tiniest bit ruffled by they child's behavior.. he was simply looking out the window and she created a problem by yacking his arm and still no bad behiavior from the child .. they she punched him , elbowed him in the face and God only knows what she did to him the 2 times she stood up and she was doing something to him you could see her right arm moving .. then she sat down and again her hand wasn't on video but you could see her right arm moving .. i think she went for that kind of job because she likes causing pain to someone that prob. can't vocalize what happened to them ........... she deserves to be thrown under the jail and the key permanently lost ...

She is a miserable bitch who is unhappy with her life and taking it out on someone less powerful than her.

i see her more as a sadistic bitch that loves to inflict pain on the most vulnarable beings .. if she couldn't have gotten that job she prob would have tried a day nursery taking care of the 2 years old and younger or working in nursing homes and volunteered to work with the ones that couldn't communicate well like people with dementia etc. any place where she knows that the videos aren't looked at daily but only if there is a complaint because she sure didn't seem worried about being caught on film ...

I wasn’t able to because I had to carry Jacob off the bus, and upstairs into the house. The cunt nor the bus driver would let me when I did ask. There’s no excuse for it. Bitch knew what she signed up for. WTFUCK else you gotta say now?

I’m sorry that you and Jacob went through that. There are a lot of nasty people out there who are definitely in the wrong professions. They’re unhappy and they take it out on kids and the elderly.

Facts. And as a soon to be CNA/PCT, I’d never treat my future patients like this. It took everything in me and Mom not to beat the dogshit out of the respective cunts.

I think you’ll be a good CNA. Off topic, but when my dad was in the nursing home, his diaper needed to be changed and a CNA told me to change it myself. Nope, nope and NOPE! I had to throw a hissy fit, but she ended up changing it.

I’d tell you, “No problem, hun. But I’m gonna need help, even though he’s not a Q2 patient.” Providing he wasn’t a Q2 patient. After my externship, I’m taking a gap year off to focus on my health and Jacob getting settled into kindergarten, then I’ll reenter the workforce.

It makes you think how many vulnerable children are hurt and their bruises/injuries are explained away because of their diagnoses.

 

[BuffettGirl]

what she did to him the 2 times she stood up and she was doing something to him you could see her right arm moving

I caught that too. At first I wondered if she was stepping on his feet, but I don't think his feet could touch the floor, so then I wondered, was she standing up so she could fart in his face? It was really strange. The raging Cuntasaurous...

The parents of the three children have since hired a lawyer and held a press conference Tuesday morning. The parents said their children suffered a knocked-out tooth, fractured bones and deep bruises. Jones, an employee with Littleton schools, accompanied the kids on the bus each day as it took them to The Joshua School, which caters to students with autism.

Devin and Jess, who declined to give their last name at the press conference, said they first noticed bumps and bruises on their 10-year-old son back in September 2023, according to local CBS affiliate KCNC. The boy’s injuries worsened over time, they said.

Jess reportedly said she took her concerns to The Joshua School, which told her the injuries did not happen while he was in their care. Littleton Public Schools allegedly told her there was nothing to be concerned about after she questioned them.

“I notified LPS on March 18 and on March 19 got a phone call from Littleton police informing me that an LPS employee had severely abused my child,” she said. “I went to the LPS transportation building and was in utter shock.”

The parents chose to publicly release a surveillance video from the bus on the afternoon of March 18 that shows Jones elbowing and slapping the boy in the neck and face and stomping on his feet, seemingly unprovoked.


“How could someone that I trusted, someone that I was so friendly with do this to my little boy?” Jess said, fighting back tears. “The torture and torment of my sweet boy could’ve been stopped.”

Two other families reported similar injuries on their children, though Jones is not yet facing charges in those cases. Police said detectives are continuing to review an “extensive amount of media/video content” and other evidence.

The Joshua School said in a statement it first heard concerns from a mother about her child’s injuries in January.


“Self-injurious behavior and unexplained bruising isn’t uncommon in our students, but because of the concern of a mother trying to identify the source of her child’s injuries, we contacted the [Littleton] school district to request a review of transportation footage for anything out of the ordinary,” the school said in a statement. “At that time, we were assured by LPS that nothing out of the ordinary had occurred. We then continued to communicate and work with the mother to identify the source of her child’s injuries.”

Littleton schools gave Law&Crime the letter it sent to parents of students on the bus. The district claims it did not learn of the injuries until March 19. It then began an internal investigation and alerted law enforcement. The district fired Jones, who had been employed there since August, the same day.

“This kind of behavior cannot be and is not tolerated. As parents, you trust us with the well-being of your children and you should never have to worry about them being harmed when they are in our care,” the letter said.

Ed C. Hopkins, of the Rathod Mohamedbhai law firm, is representing the three families and said they are planning to sue Littleton schools.

“They had everything they needed to stop it faster and they didn’t,” Hopkins said. “They had notice and they ignored it. These children have been traumatized and tortured because they failed them.”

you were right it says stomping on his feet but the way her arm was moving i bet she was twisting his arm or pinching him ... it is hard enough on parents and kids with special needs they don't deserve to be abused and the parents don't need the extra worries of wondering if their child is being abused ...

I doubt the parents would ever be able to trust the schools or their staff again.

 

[RisottoGroupon]

As a mother of special needs children, burn in hell bitch. We're forced to trust you with our most precious children, and this is what you do? This is why I homeschool my special needs children, I can't trust anyone with them, it's almost a crime to do so in today's world.

I honestly wasn’t trying to be a bitch, and stated very clearly there was no excuse for her behavior. But as long as you’re being rude I’m going to go for more clarity. Which one is it-because they wouldn’t “let you” or you couldn’t because you had to carry your son off the bus and into the house? On that note if you’re carrying him off the bus AND into the house why’d he even need his shoes back on? Frankly I don’t really care and from what I’ve read it sounds like you’re a wonderful mother, but someone should be allowed to question a response and get an honest reply without the the trashy endnote.

I live in an apartment complex, and I have to walk to and from the bus. It was both: cunt wouldn’t let me put on his shoes before I got him off the bus, and given bubby pie puts his feet and toes in his mouth still, I wasn’t about to have my child walk barefoot on the sidewalk, into the lobby and into the elevator; it was summer. I’m sorry if I got mean; another Demonite gaslit me previously, and now that I’m no longer in a fuckton of pain now that I’ve gotten my Remicade, I can better answer. Neighbors have dogs as well, and will piss in the elevator or track dog shit into the lobby/elevators.
