COLERAIN TWP., Ohio -- A teacher at St. John the Baptist School in Colerain has been charged with disorderly conduct after another teacher turned her in for being physical with a child.
Kathleen Winters, 57, of Fairfield was cited Saturday night in the incident that dates back to August 26. Winters allegedly grabbed the arm of a six-year-old student and pulled him away from a drinking fountain, while lecturing him. It happened in front of another teacher who had escorted the student to the drinking fountain.
9News has learned the child in question has a medical condition that requires him to rehydrate often. Winters was responsible for a group of students in a gym class, according to Colerain police. Those students were in line at the fountain, when the 6-year-old was allowed in to the fountain.
The school is located on the 5300 block of Dry Ridge Road, and is a Catholic school affiliated with the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, according to the school's Web site.
Winters will be in court on November 4.
