Thank you for posting this up. I've read about this... and I sent a short but too the point email to the teacher who did this to this little boy. Not to worry, I didn't lay into her, otherwise it would show I am as LOW as this teacher.
I hope they can her though. This was VERY WRONG to do to ANY child.
SHE scares me.. especially since our twins start Kindergarten this fall.
it just make you sick to think that a teacher would put this to a group of little ones that still are open minded!! I hope the parents of the other children have a take with their children and tell them what she did was wrong!!!
I hope they get satisfaction... but apparently they are not bringing up criminal charges ... I would seek some sort of restitution for this. This child has been traumatized by this.. as has the family. And me for that matter.. it scares me.. it really does.
Doesn't this family have some sort of rights and protection ? That is if this was held in a PUBLIC school. All is off if your child is in a private school, but in a public school, it is quite different. Can't the family sue the district for damages this has caused their son?
Even in the ADULT world , the working world, we are NOT allowed to do this in the work place - so how could this teacher think there is nothing wrong with what she did?
What in the heck was this teacher trying to teach these VERY YOUNG children in the first place? Was this on some sort of curriculum?? I don't think so!
I HAD READ ABOUT THIS ON CAFE MOM BUT I HAD NOT SEEN THE NEWS FOOTAGE ONIT . THAT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL. I CAN NOT BELIEVE A GROWN WOMAN COULD DO A CHILD LIKE THAT ESPICALLY ONE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. THE TEACHER DOES NOT NEED TO BE AROUND CHILDREN AT ALL.
Did I read this correctly, "but apparently they are not bringing up criminal charges"? Say WHAT?!?!?!?! What this teacher did was illegal! How can you not seek restitution??
I'm not saying that this family isn't sticking up for their son, but not taking any action just fuels the fire that that maniac, Savage, has started.
School systems need to know that this type of behavior will NOT be tolerated. It is cruel, unjust, and unacceptable.
They should all be held accountable for what they have done to this child and his family! A lawsuit NEEDS to be filed!
