Barton told the student to stop but he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s when investigators say Barton grabbed the student&#8217;s arm, turned it behind his back, lifted him from his seat and dragged him about 15 feet to a neighboring classroom. Once the two entered the room, Barton threw the child across the ground where he slid about 7 feet on his chest and hit his head on a cabinet, the report says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two teachers were in the classroom and witnessed the child being thrown, investigators say. They would report the incident to the school&#8217;s principal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When talking to investigators, one of the teachers said Barton threw the child to the ground &#8220;like he was a baseball player sliding into home plate.&#8221; The other teacher described Barton throwing the child to the ground &#8220;like a sack of potatoes.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the teachers checked to see if the child was hurt and told investigators she heard him say, &#8220;that wasn&#8217;t fair, she shouldn&#8217;t have thrown me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barton faces one count of child abuse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Pasco County teacher has been arrested after investigators say she threw a student across a classroom.
