But they never made it there.

What happened next, police say, is why the 48-year-old teacher has been removed from her job and charged with felony injury to a child, according to ABC affiliate KTRK.

Surveillance footage from inside the school on Oct. 12 shows Allison grabbing the young student’s hand when he tries to move away from her, leading to a struggle as they continue down the hallway, according to a probable cause statement.

Holding the child by his upper back near his neck, Allison is seen hitting the child “with a closed fist to the right side of his face,” according to the statement provided by the Harris County district attorney’s office.

“The Defendant then forces the complainant to the floor and sits on top of the complainant’s back as she holds him there,” the statement says. “As administrators arrive and tell the Defendant to get up off of the complainant, as Ms. [Allison] gets up, it is clearly observed that she has her knee on the complainant’s back.”

The statement notes that the child was calm when he stood up and was escorted to the office.

The second-grader told police that Allison said “I’m tired of you” before grabbing him and punching him and “causing him pain.”

He also told police that Allison pushed him to the floor and sat on his back with her buttocks, which also caused him pain.

When police interviewed Allison, she told them that “she didn’t recall hitting” the boy “but admitted holding him down on the floor.”

Craig Eichhorn, a spokesman for the Alief Independent School District, said Allison was immediately placed on leave when allegations were brought to the attention of school and district administrators.

“Her days of teaching here are over,” Eichhorn said, noting that Allison will not return to the campus.

Landis is one of two dozen elementary schools in the district. “We remain positive and professional in all that we do!” the campus website says.

Parents told CBS affiliate KHOU that the teacher’s behavior had no place in an educational environment.

“That’s crazy — I don’t think they should be doing anything like that, if it did happen,” said Mito Garcia, a parent whose child attends Landis.

“I mean, if you’re a teacher, you go to school for this,” parent Diana Rodriguez said. “To be able to know you have to have patience.”
