**Pittsburgh, PA** – The Allegheny County Police have pressed charges against an adult paraprofessional following an incident at Sto-Rox Upper Elementary.
On Monday, the police department’s General Investigations Unit received a ChildLine report regarding a contractor. The contractor, employed at Sto-Rox Upper Elementary, allegedly struck a 10-year-old student with special needs.
The investigation revealed that the incident occurred on Thursday. Video evidence shows the student in the hallway when London Simmons, aged 31, allegedly opened a door into her, causing her to fall and break her glasses. Witnesses reportedly saw Simmons leave the scene without offering help, and the student suffered a minor eye injury.
After discussions with the district attorney’s office, charges were filed against Simmons. She faces endangering the welfare of a child and simple assault, both misdemeanors.
