IRVING, Texas — A North Texas woman was arrested for injury to a child for allegedly grabbing and scratching the face of a 4-year-old child in her care at a North Texas private school, officials say.
A parent contacted Irving police on June 28 with concerns that a teacher was physically harming a child, officials say. The Irving Police Department’s Crimes Against Children unit then started an investigation.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, a woman reported her 4-year-old son was the “victim of physical and mental abuse” by a worker while he was at the Sloan School, a private elementary school and preschool in the 3100 block of N. O’Connor Road in Irving.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, the 4-year-old, during an interview with investigators, described the suspect, identified by police as Sandra Randall, 62, hurting him by grabbing his face and scratching him in the face.
Video footage from the school from June 20 also showed Randall “grabbing the victim’s face in an aggressive manner for no apparent reason, which was later found to have caused bodily injury,” according to the arrest warrant affidavit.
On July 24, Randall was arrested on a complaint of injury to a child, police say.
WFAA has reached out to the Sloan School for comment.
The Irving Police Department declined to provide additional information because the alleged offense involved a child.
