Roya has obtained a video depicting a teacher assaulting a child at a center for people with disabilities in Irbid city.

The center mistakenly posted the video on its social media page yesterday, Wednesday, before removing it. In the video, the child is seen being slapped and yelled at after struggling to pronounce a letter.

Dr. Muhannad Al-Azza, the Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for Persons with Disabilities, confirmed to Roya that the authorities have called in the aggressor to the Family Protection Center for investigation and legal action.

Azza stated that a committee has been established to prosecute the center’s owner and shut down the center. He mentioned that the Public Prosecutor will be notified to proceed with legal actions against the center and its staff.

He revealed that the child is around 14 years old and has a mental disability. The child's father resides in a country in the Gulf region, while the child's grandmother will file a complaint with the authorities to initiate legal proceedings.
