When she forced him to finish his lunch, he kicked the teacher. Eicher responded by wrapping her leg around the boy’s leg to stop him from kicking her.

The witness also saw Eicher kicking the child under the table that made him cry out in pain.

The boy then allegedly spit in the teacher’s face and spilled his applesauce.

Eicher then asked the boy to clean up the mess, according to the affidavit.
