Texas teacher accused of breaking child's fingers was arrested | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: McKenzie Merill, a teacher from Fluger ISD, faces a first-degree felony charge for allegedly breaking the fingers of a 5-year-old autistic boy. Surveillance footage showed Merill holding the child’s hand, and after the boy returned home acting strangely, a doctor confirmed fractures in his ring and little fingers. Merill claimed she used pressure as a de-escalation technique and did not recall the child’s injury, later asserting self-defense, which the boy’s parents found outrageous. Following the incident, Merill was placed on administrative leave and is no longer employed by the district, which is also reviewing disciplinary actions for another employee.
The Pflugerville ISD teacher accused of breaking a kindergartner’s fingers was arrested on Wednesday.
