Teacher Accused of Duct Taping Child`s Mouth Shut

[Guest guest]

My 5th grade nephew who has ASD reported to my sister that a child in his class

had his mouth duct taped by the teacher and aide. The police were notified, the

teacher and aide are on leave until further investigation. It was just on the

news in Sacramento. I can`t stand hearing stories like this. Working as an

aide myself I have been trained to restrain children in crisis and it never

involves duct tape. I urge parents to be informed of what the restraint

policies are at your child`s school. Even if your child isn`t being restrained

it is possible, depending on the class, that other kids are and it would be good

to know what your school`s protocol is.
