<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

My wife is a 2nd year teacher with certification to work with special needs children.  She has worked in the child care industry for almost 12 years, in different capacities.  She's worked at the YMCA afterschool/summer programs/teen camp programs, daycares & even a Christian-based nursery.  Throughout her entire career, she has been a beacon of inspiration for dozens, if not hundreds of children.  

She recently inherited a child in her current class who may or may not actually fit the mold of her classroom.  She normally has children who are learning disabled (read: mentally retarded), wheras this new child fits more of behaviorally challenged (read: hyperactive when he doesn't get what he wants).  The child's mother reported my wife to the school district because her child said that the teacher "owwied" her.  Since then, there has been observer after observer watching every step my wife takes while in school.  All the while, they have noticed that this kid is out of freaking control.  The kid will throw anything and everything not bolted down, which resulted in the principal ordering my wife to clear out her classroom of anything light enough for the kid to throw.  This only provides him with less options to terrorize my wife.  The kid has punched, pinched, kicked and bit my wife and yet the principal will not do anything other than entertain this mother's idea of possible abuse.

So, Redditor's of the world, what should I do as a caring husband?  I want to possibly press charges against the school district for allowing this to continue, but I don't know if there is legal precedent.  I also would love to confront the parents, but I know that's not even an option because it could lead to my wife's termination.
<bot>: My wife is being terrorized by a new student who probably doesn't belong in her class of special needs students.  Principal will not step up and do the right thing.  Should I look for legal help?
