Rebecca Kimball’s worst nightmare recently became a reality.

 

Her 11-year-old daughter, who is physically and developmentally disabled, was violently attacked by her own elementary school teacher on Feb. 25.

 

Kimball told 12 News she rushed to Hayden McFadden Elementary School to pick her daughter up after the principal called and informed her that something had happened, but refused to elaborate.

 

“I was told my child had been involved in an incident with a teacher,” Kimball recalled. “That was pretty much all she could give me.”

Kimball said she will never forget the first time she saw her

daughter afterward.

 

“She had marks and bruises on her … her hair was a mess,” Kimball recalled. “She looked so out of it, just like she was in the Twilight Zone. She was just not there.”

 

Kimball told 12 News she learned over time exactly what had happened to her daughter that morning.

 

Surveillance footage from inside the elementary school revealed that her daughter’s teacher, Anissa Faria, had shoved her and pulled her ponytail several times after she refused to get up off the ground.
