Prosecutors have filed more than 100 charges against a former Poudre School District paraprofessional who was fired after allegations of child abuse.
Tyler Zanella was arrested at the end of May after Fort Collins police reported surveillance video from a school bus allegedly showed Zanella hitting young children. Police identified a total of 6 students in the videos, and reported all of them were determined to be at-risk due to disabilities.
“Because my son can process bad from good, as soon as he heard, 'I'm a bad kid,' he thought he did something wrong. So he instantly started covering his ears, because he was confused," the mother explained."He covers his ears and then starts humming or singing to himself a little bit, just to tune out the world basically."“They don't have a voice, and I feel like he victimized them because they weren't able to tell what was going on," Muller said.
The notice from the other family said"economic damages are yet to be determined, but are estimated to exceed a combined $400,000." A spokesperson for the school district confirmed they received the injury notice letter from an attorney representing the family in question, but will not comment further at this time.
