Child Abuse Charges Against Marionville Teacher Dropped

A teacher in Marionville who was accused of child abuse had her charges dropped Monday.

Kimberly Daniels was charged in September with abuse of a child and hindering prosecution of a felony.

Those charges were dropped after a preliminary hearing on in Lawrence County.

The Springfield News-Leader reports Daniels was on paid administrative leave in June after she took a 4-year-old boy by his arm and removed him from kickball game.

Prosecutors in the case say Daniels’ behavior was abusive and the boy was injured as a result.

Reports say several teachers who witnessed the incident didn’t report any wrongdoing.

The News-Leader says a children’s division employee thoroughly investigated the case and found the allegations of abuse were “unsubstantiated”.

Daniels faced up to 7 years in prison.

Lawrence County prosecutors could later choose to refile charges against Daniels in this case.
