First let me say that you are so lucky! I work in a pretty contentious environment where every day is a conflict over something. (Truly, I'm health and safety in a mine, people get bent when I just want to keep them safe).
But more unbelievable to me is that we share the abuse of a child abuse hoax! I had that happen to me, by a special ed teacher at a school who didn't like me and wanted me to be fired. She wrote up a full 5 page report and everything. A huge investigation ensued, I was put on a leave of absence. Luckily for me that child I was accused of hurting told a nearly identical story to mine when questioned by several people. The teacher, caught up in her lie made several missteps along the way and was caught. But what a nightmare!
We had an opposite situation. There was a sub para who had been a sub in that position a long time. One of the students she worked with was a nonverbal preschooler. The girl was doing something and the sub swatted her on the butt and looked at the teacher and said, "how do you like that?" The teacher reported her and she was escorted from the building via the police.
The next year I saw her subbing at a high school. I don't know if she was banned from working with nonverbal or young children, but I was surprised she was even allowed in the district
