Preschooler II v. Clark County School Board (9th Cir. - March 21, 2007)

You know it's an ugly and disturbing case when the lawsuit involves a four-year old disabled child and the final paragraph of the opinion reads: "AFFIRMED as to the denial of qualified immunity on the head beating and slamming claims; REVERSED as to the denial of qualified immunity on the unexplained bruises, scratches, and shoeless walks claims; and REMANDED for further proceedings."

Yikes.
