A Texas mother is speaking out after her son got home with injuries to his neck and ears, which allegedly came from abuse by a teacher’s aide.

Denise Sonnier sent FOX 26 Houston photos of a thumbprint on her 5-year-old son’s throat and scratches on his ear. Cameron Sonnier told his mom that a teacher’s aide at Beatrice Mayes Institute, the school he goes to in Houston, choked him on Sept. 2, and the day before, she pulled him by the ear. The mother was outraged when she found out.

“I feel like that teacher should be put in jail, she assaulted him,” Sonnier told the news station.

The kindergarten says he asked the teacher’s aide to use the bathroom, and she said no. The student didn’t want to urinate on himself according to his mother. Therefore, when he couldn’t hold it anymore, and ran out of the classroom to the bathroom. Sonnier says the teacher’s aide went into the bathroom and grabbed the boy by his neck.

Sonnier says she got a call last Friday from the school nurse, alerting her that Cameron had an injury.

“She said Cameron had a scratch on his neck, and she was going to clean it up because the skin had been broken; it was like a nail print, like a rounding of a nail,” Sonnier said.

Sonnier says the same teacher’s aide is responsible for both injuries, and she now plans to remove Cameron and his twin sister from the school. The mother has also filed a police report, according to FOX 26.

Sonnier says she is upset and hopes she doesn’t come face to face with the teacher’s aide.

“I don’t think I would be talking to her, honestly,” Sonnier said. “To be honest, as a mother, I never — I don’t understand why would you choke a baby.”

School superintendent Christopher Mayes plans to meet with Cameron’s parents and the teacher’s aide, who is currently on paid administrative leave pending an investigation. Mayes says he is “bound by law not to reveal any confidential information about the student or the specific details.”

“I will be seeking to confirm that our student discipline and school safety policies were implemented correctly,” Mayes said in a statement. “Subsequently, I will appropriate any action necessary for the well-being of the child and of the School.”
