LCSO: Child Abuse Investigation at
Sabal Palm Elementary

Leon County, Florida  –  Leon County Schools confirms an instructional aide has been put on leave in the wake of an abuse complaint.

LCS Spokesman Chris Petley says the aide works at Sabal Palm Elementary.

Neither the school system nor the sheriff’s office will provide any details about the allegations.

“We received a complaint from DCF about an instructional aide at Sabal Palm Elementary,” Petley said.  “We have then initiated an internal investigation, the instructional aide has been placed on administrative leave during the investigation and we will report back to the community with our findings.”

A heavily redacted incident report shows LCSO is investigating a child abuse complaint of “physical or mental injury.”
