A 5-year-old child with autism was allegedly thrown into a shelf by a therapist at Pathways Autism Center in Johns Creek. The incident was captured on surveillance video, according to police. The child's family claims they were initially told the incident was an accident, with staff saying the child slipped and fell.

However, after viewing the footage, the family still maintained they were told it was an accident. The child suffered a deep cut on the forehead requiring stitches. Further details on the incident are available from local news sources, including an interview with the child's grandmother.
