LIVERMORE - Employees at San Francisco Bay Area charter school have been accused of abusing a foreign exchange student from China.

The East Bay Times reports (http://bit.ly/2bFqHEI) that a California Preparatory Academies teacher was charged with assault and child cruelty and former leaders of Livermore Valley Charter Preparatory have been charged with failing to report the alleged abuse.

According to Court Documents, in January a 14-year-old student was at an after-school tutoring session at the charter school with the teacher accused him of copying homework and embarrassed the student in front of others. The student left, but was found by the teacher and forcibly returned to school. The teacher is also accused of verbally abusing the student.

The student had a laceration to his shin and complained of pain to his knees as a result of the incident.
