An Illinois teacher was arrested and charged with aggravated battery against a child after she allegedly dropped one of her toddler students.

Lisa Jacobs, aged 44, worked as a pre-kindergarten teacher at St. Ambrose Catholic School in Godfrey, which is situated around 30 miles north of St. Louis, Missouri, close to the southwest border of Illinois. However, she unexpectedly resigned following investigations by the police and the Department of Child Protective Services. The allegations against her involved reportedly lifting a 3-year-old student and then letting the child fall from a height of five feet, leading to the child sustaining injuries. This incident was said to have occurred on December 3, after which Jacobs was promptly placed on administrative leave and subsequently decided to resign from her position on December 4.
