Nurse caught on video kicking special needs child

A California nurse was fired and faces potential felony child abuse charges after he was caught on video appearing to kick and pinch a special needs child.

Oscar Felix was arrested on Tuesday by Santa Ana police officers after a nanny cam video allegedly showed him abusing the 6-year-old boy he was supposed to be taking care of.

According to KTLA, the child has CHARGE syndrome and has trouble hearing and speaking. He also needs a feeding tube and requires full-time care.

Later in the video, the boy grabs something off the counter, knocking items to the ground. Felix walks over to the child and appears to kick him, causing the boy to fall. Police said he was also seen in the video pinching the boy's neck.

The child's mother said they recently changed nurses and she suspected something was going on because her son's behavior was getting more aggressive.
