EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio-India Bryant, a former preschool teacher at George L. Forbes Early Learning Center in East Cleveland, has pleaded not guilty to assaulting a 4-year-old boy in her care. The alleged incident occurred on April 25, leading to Bryant’s termination.
The victim’s mother, Jovan Reese, reported that her son Arrison claimed Bryant slapped him, resulting in a red mark on his face. Bryant posted bond, and a pretrial is scheduled for June 27. Reese filed a police report and took Arrison to his pediatrician, who noted a small red scratch on his nose and cheek. An arrest warrant alleges that Bryant caused physical harm to Arrison by striking him in the face.
