3. Olga Garza
53-year-old Olga Garza is being accused of force-feeding one of her 4-year-old students. A teacher’s assistant witnessed Garza holding the 4-year-old-female’s nose, causing her to gasp for air. The teacher then tried to get the victim to eat by forcing the food into her mouth. The assistant begged her to stop multiple times, but Garza wouldn’t let up. The incident was all caught on surveillance video, and Garza was charged with injury to a child, a third-degree felony. When the child’s father found out about the incident, he was furious. He wanted to immediately press charges against the teacher after the surveillance footage showed her pinching the child’s nose for up to 33 seconds while the victim desperately tried to move away from her. The teacher claims she was forcing the child to eat because she was concerned for her health.
