A former Floyd County, Georgia School System teacher – Lynn Katherine Allen Mitchell, has been arrested and charged with three counts of felony 1st-Degree Cruelty to Children.   Arrest warrants detail incidents reportedly taking place at the Alto Park Elementary School.

Mitchell reportedly rolled a 4-year-old special needs, non-verbal child in a blanket and restrained him by stepping on it when he wouldn’t nap.

In another instance she apparently picked up a different child – and then slammed him onto a mat for the same reason.

On a separate occasion – she tightly wrapped a third child in a blanket to keep him from getting up.

Mitchell is no longer employed by the school system – and remains in the Floyd County Jail with a $15,000 bond.  The children involved are all considered to be “Special Needs” and all are between the ages of 4 and 5.
