Local assistant preschool director charged with abusing child, records show
A preschool assistant director is charged with abusing a child with special needs, according to court documents obtained by Channel 9.
An arrest warrant shows Amber Pride-Porter worked at Children Of America preschool in north Charlotte.
Court documents state she was arrested on Friday for administering corporal punishment on a 4-year-old with a disability.
Jail records showed Porter was released just hours after her arrest with a promise to appear in court next month.
Channel 9 has reached out to the preschool for a statement, but we have not heard back.
