A former Floyd County School System teacher, Lynn Katherine Allen Mitchell, has been arrested and charged with three counts of felony 1st-degree cruelty to children. The arrest warrants detail disturbing incidents that occurred at Alto Park Elementary School. Mitchell rolled a 4-year-old, special needs, non-verbal child in a blanket and restrained him by stepping on it when he wouldn’t nap. In another instance, she picked up a different child and slammed him onto a mat for the same reason. On a separate occasion, she tightly wrapped a third child in a blanket to keep him from getting up. Mitchell is no longer employed by the school system, and she remains in Floyd County Jail with a $15,000 bond. The children involved were all special needs and between the ages of 4 and 5.
