More families are coming forward saying they believe their special needs children were abused in Great Falls schools. And with one teacher's aide already arrested, police now say they've located a second woman charged with abusing an autistic child.

Julie Parish and Kristina Kallies are charged with assault on a minor and endangering the welfare of children. Parish was arrested last weekend, and police say they've now located Kallies in Texas and expect to arrest her soon.

And with many people learning of the allegations, more families are expressing concern for their children. So far 14 families have contacted the Tarum Law Offices looking for representation including several in the last 48 hours.

Tarum said, "We've gotten calls from seven parents that believe their child was abused or mistreated, five with severe disabilities."

The children range in age from elementary to high school. None of the new allegations are more serious than those that came to light earlier this week including inappropriate punishment like water boarding and severe neglect including leaving a boy in soiled pants. The new allegations do however include physical abuse.

Right now Tarum says his top priority is identifying any other potential victims including one boy in the North Middle School class who he believes was locked in a closet.

“One student that we know was pretty severely mistreated in that North classroom. There are still folks like that we're still seeking out and trying to find,” added Tarum.

Tarum believes the school district must play a role in finding counselors trained to work with special needs children. He adds the families support the idea of the attorney general to being involved in the investigation.

For its part, the school district has said it's already changed its hiring practices since these allegations came to light.
