BRADENTON, Fla. (WFLA) — A Bradenton teacher and a teacher’s aide are accused of tying a 7-year-old child with autism to a chair for one hour, according to the Bradenton Police Department.

Video from the playground of G.D. Rogers Garden-Bullock Elementary School on Friday allegedly shows Carina Chindamo, 31, and aide Taylor Internicola, 39, using a nylon walking rope to tie up the child, police said.

The child’s mother, Takeila Jones, said the school’s principal called her saying an issue had occurred with her son.

“Not just one of them, but actually two of them, were tying him up with the little rope that they use to walk the kids around the school with,” Jones said.

The rope was then tied to the leg of the chair, police said.

The child was restrained on the ground behind the chair for about an hour, according to police.

Chindamo and Internicola were allegedly seen on the video several times sitting on the chair to keep the child restrained by using their weight, according to police.

“My daughter saw it when they were at recess,” Jones said. “She didn’t want to say anything to me because she thought ‘it’s his teacher, it’s Miss so-and-so, it’s fine, I didn’t think anything of it. He was over there crying and stuff like that and I didn’t want to get in trouble.'”

Chindamo was taken into custody Tuesday evening on a charge of false imprisonment of a child under age 13, according to police. Internicola was not in custody as of 8 p.m.

Jones said her first-grade son is non-verbal and now doesn’t feel like she can trust the school or the teachers.

“Y’all were supposed to protect him, y’all were supposed to watch out for him and teach him, not put him in harm’s way with these people that hurt him,” she said.

She said she fears not only for her son, but the other students.

“It’s really upsetting me because my child, like I said, is autistic, he’s non-verbal,” Jones said. “He can’t tell mommy what’s happening, what’s not happening. All he can do, you know, is just be himself.”

The mother said she wants justice for her son, Jhalil Richardson.

“Justice from the parties involved, justice from the school board, justice from the school itself, because you guys failed my child,” she said.

Jones said after all of this, she is considering changing schools for all her children.
