## Summary

A Florida elementary-school teacher was arrested after allegedly manhandling a six-year-old pupil with special needs during a dispute over a toy. Police say the teacher threw the child into the air and pinned him against a classroom wall, raising concerns about the child’s safety and the teacher’s conduct.

The incident took place on 16 October at Wadsworth Elementary School in Palm Coast. Kevin Adkisson, 52, faces two felony counts of child abuse without great bodily harm; police also cited a separate student’s account of an earlier alleged incident. A court order bars him from contacting the child and a witness, and he was released on $5,000 bail ahead of a 17 November court appearance.
