Substitute teacher fired, arrested for hitting pregnant student

Gary Scott was immediately fired and is now facing charges after he allegedly hit a student who was six months pregnant. Other students say Scott used foul language and had an attitude before he did it.
"It's something that's not going to be tolerated," says Nassau County superintendent Dr. John Ruis.
