Two aides at a Columbus school for children with behavioral issues will be fired for their treatment of a student. The Columbus Schools say Fred Harrison and Leslie Polk took a non-violent Beatty Park Elementary School student into a "seclusion room" and restrained him in a dangerous manner last March. The student sustained bruises and scrapes. Both aides say they'll appeal.
