Lab tech bites boy, suffers job overbite

Reason for leaving last job: fired for biting autistic 3 year old boy, but the little monster bit me first!
Anyone else perceive a problem for the unnamed lab tech, now perusing the job market after being fired for too much toothiness in the workplace...
A former lab technician admitted to investigators she bit an autistic boy during a blood test, but said the 3-year-old had bitten her first, Indianapolis police said Wednesday.Everyone's sorry this happened - the nibbly tech, the hospital, the tech's subcontractor, so I'm sure this will quickly blow over and be forgotten.
The boy's mother, Faith Buntin, took him to St. Vincent in Indianapolis for a blood test because of recent recalls of toys involving lead. Buntin said that as the technician restrained the boy so a colleague could draw blood, the worker restraining him put her mouth on the boy's shoulder.
Buntin said the worker told her, "it was just a play bite," and that the boy wasn't hurt.
Ok, I'm kidding. I won't be at all surprised if the family sues damn near everyone involved, including Peyton Manning because his name is on the hospital too. Look for the outraged statement from a lawyer, tearful kiddie pictures, media sniping, and finally a terse statement that a settlement has been reached.
There is never, never a time when hurting a child is OK!
This woman stated that she has done this in the past, and on numerous occasions at a group home where she also worked.
Sometimes God gives people with no voice a way to be heard through strange and crazy events that I don't pretend to understand.
She was clearly disturbed to even think that this was the right thing to do and to laugh about it after she had done it shows a clear lack of compassion for other people, hardly a trait that you would desire in a nurse or a medical care giver.
I don't think he is a little monster, I think he is a little saviour.
I call him My Son!

I hope that this won't blow over.
I hope that the child does not contract a some horrible sickness later on.
Anyone who does not think that an adult should not be punished for harming children should be a Catholic Priest.
Seems you all have the right mentality to become one. After all, hurting the innocent is what they seem to do best lately!
