A Kansas elementary school teacher has been caught on camera kicking a five-year-old kindergarten student and aggressively grabbing the child during library class. Teacher Crystal Smith was caught on surveillance footage at Bluejacket Flint elementary school in Shawnee kicking a toddler who was hiding in a bookshelf in the library on February 21. In the clip the teacher can be seen approaching the young girl and grabbing her arm to get her out of the cubby hole then kicking her back as the girl laid sprawled on the ground. The girl reported she was hit to her homeroom teacher who failed to report it to the school's administration. When the girl's mother picked her up from school and asked how her day was, the child responded, 'I don't like my teacher. She's really mean. She hit me on my arm.' Her mother then noticed a large red mark on the child's arm. Outraged the mother called the school principal to learn about what happened. Then the mother met with Crystal Smith, the teacher accused of hitting the girl. But Smith diverted blame to the child for the welt. 'I'm not surprised she has some marks on her. She was crawling in the bookshelf. She has a red spot on her arm. And I'm not surprised because she shoved herself into that bookshelf...I mean, she kicked me a couple of times..' Smith said. Unsatisfied, the mother demanded for video of the incident. The school confirmed the next day there was video, but more than a week passed before the video was released to the mother.
