FOX45 News initially investigated this case in April. At the time, the mother of the child said that the teacher's actions made her son so uncomfortable he skipped class.

"To me, that's not horseplay. That's assault," said Michelle Hinson at the time. "This type of behavior is not OK at all."

Baltimore County Police say they are continuing to investigate what happened and ask that anyone with information contact Baltimore County Police at 410-887-7720.
