BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut kindergarten teacher has
been arrested for allegedly forcing a 5-year-old boy to eat his
lunch from a garbage can.
Sixty-seven-year-old Anne O'Donnell of Fairfield was arrested
yesterday on a charge of risk of injury to a minor.
School officials say the charge stems from an incident last week
when the boy apparently tossed out his lunch of chicken nuggets and
a banana from the school cafeteria.
The teacher is accused of retrieving the items from the garbage
can and forcing the boy to eat them in front of her.
O'Donnell has been released on a promise to appear in court.
