According to language in an arrest warrant obtained by Cobb County Schools Police Department, a five-year-old special needs child defecated in his pants. The warrant alleges Lewis allowed the child to remain uncleaned for about two hours.
Witnesses told police that Lewis said she was “going to prove a point” about restroom habits by allowing the child to remain in his soiled clothing.
“Said child did suffer redness and irritation to his buttocks as well as mental pain as a result of the teacher’s actions,” according to the arrest warrant.
Lewis, 56, of Acworth, was booked into the Cobb County Jail Dec. 4 and was released after posting a $5,720 bond.
