Former Brownsburg teacher’s aide due in court after student forced to eat vomit

Teacher’s aide due in court Brownsburg vomit case

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Attorneys for a child who was forced to eat his own vomit at a Brownsburg school say they expect a former teacher’s aide to change her plea in the case at a hearing Tuesday.

Online court records show a pre-trial conference for Debra Kanipe set for 1 p.m. before Judge Rhett Stuart. Kanipe is charged with neglect of a dependent and failure to report.

Prosecutors say Kanipe handed the child a spoon after his teacher, Sara Seymour, told him to eat his own vomit in 2023.

Last month, a judge sentenced Seymour to less than a year of probation.

Attorneys for the student’s family released a statement from his mother saying her son has since developed a fear of food and no longer trusts adults.
