Special needs student beaten as 3 Texas teachers aides watch on

Three Aldine ISD aides are fired after an 11 year old special needs boy is beaten as the teachers aides watched on and failed to intervene. Teacher training brought in to question.

Disconcert has come to the fore after video captured a 11 year old special needs boy  mercilessly beaten by another student as 3 teachers aides with Texas Aldine ISD stood by and watched on. 

The video, obtained by KHOU, shows the boy, identified as Sekai, getting thrown to the floor by a much larger special needs pupil after he appears to bump him into a line at Jones Middle School in Humble, Texas.

After Sekai — a non-verbal autistic boy who has the intellectual capacity of a 4- or 5-year-old — gets up, the student punches him to the floor again and repeatedly kicks him as he crawls along, footage shows.
