Teacher Accused of Assault of Infant

(North Kansas City, Missouri) A 31-year-old kindergarten teacher at Northview Elementary School, Emily Bowers, has been accused of third-degree assault stemming from an incident where a one-year-old infant was injured while in her care.

Bowers was charged before she started working for the school district. A background check performed before she was hired failed to identify the alleged assault.

The school district placed Bowers on paid leave.

Bowers has pleaded not guilty to the assault charge.
