That’s why you file a complaint with the State Licensing Board.

allegedly physically, mentally abused by teacher

ok, so teacher is fired. & nbsp; situation makes the news all over the state

of florida and maybe hits georgia, south carolina, too so everyone there

knows what teacher looks like (maybe-don't want to violate teacher's civil

rights by showing photo)... & nbsp; teacher comes to texas to get a job. & nbsp;

is there anything on the books regarding prior knowledge of teacher's bad

behavior and reason for termination to prevent hiring this person? & nbsp; i

know i've heard of pedophiles moving from state to state, school district to

school district within a given state and there was no way of knowing when

they were hired even though background checks had been performed.

& nbsp;

i'm wondering if this & nbsp;might not & nbsp;meet criteria to lose one's

teaching certificate and be banned from working in any area of education

ever again.

I am disgusted and this teacher should immediately be fired and criminal

charges brought against her. & nbsp; This was absolutely emotional abuse and

should not be tolerated. & nbsp; I feel so sad for this child. & nbsp; My son is

in kindergarten and has Aspergers so I can completely relate. & nbsp; It takes

much less then this for a child like this to be turned off from

school. & nbsp; This is so terrible. & nbsp; My prayers go out to this family.

images/blogimage s/melissas. jpg & gt; Barton a

happy five year old boy who attends Morningside Elementary

School in Port St Lucie, FL. Now cries in the morning " I cannot go to school

where the " mean lady is.she made them all hate me " .

Wednesday afternoon when his mother Barton picked the boy up from

school stated, with tears in his eyes, that 14 classmates voted him out

of the class. His mother sought further information from 's kindergarten

teacher. It is alleged that Portillo, his teacher, admitted that she

had in fact stood up in front of his kindergarten peers and asked them

in turn, one by one, to tell him why they do not like him. It is further

alleged that as stood in the center of the class, his teacher asked

each child to point out something he is or does that they do not like about

him and vote if he is worthy enough to stay in the class. 14 children voted

that , the Autistic boy be removed from the class.

The teacher then allegedly asked the boy where he would go now that the

class doesn't like him the boy replied, " to the office? " the teacher

returned with " they do not want you there " then the 5 year old said " home "

the teacher said your mom is at work you can't go home. He finally said that

he would go to the nurse and the teacher sent him out of the classroom to

the office where he stayed for the remainder of the day.

At this time the school resource officer and the district attorney see no

reason to press criminal charges against the teacher. Phone calls to the

superintendent of Port St Lucie Schools have not been returned.

is currently under evaluation from the school for the possibility of

being Autistic, and Asperger's Disorder. His principal has initiated getting

's proper diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome.

" He has many of the symptoms of Aspergers " says his mother. " The teacher

knew that he was under evaluation even having a part-time assistant just for

, and she decided that the best way to handle him would be through

humiliation from his peers. I cannot imagine how he must have felt as his

teacher encouraged the other students to bully by telling him he is

disgusting and they do not like him among other things. This is abuse and

discrimination among other things; I will not soon let this go " says

Barton. " The moment he needed me the most, I was at work. I do not know if

he will ever trust teachers again, I do not know if I will ever trust the

Port St Lucie School District again. I know it will be a while before I can

convince my little boy that learning is fun. I am deeply sorrowed by the

pain my child suffered at the hands of his Port St Lucie school teacher. "

Mrs.. Barton went on to say, " This is a sad day for parents of disabled

children across the USA. I am now seeking the help of a physiatrist for my

son as he refuses to eat, sleep in his own room and other problems that

arrived directly after the abuse.

I urge any parent that child may have had contact with Mrs. Portillo to

speak to their children about the daily activities that go on in this class.

Do not be afraid to call the police if you suspect something is wrong in

your child's class. "

What is Asperger Syndrome?

Asperger Syndrome (AS) is considered a pervasive developmental disorder

at the higher functioning end of the autism spectrum. It is characterized by

sustained impairment in social interaction and the development of

restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests and activities.

In contrast to autism, there are no obvious delays in language or cognitive

development, or in age appropriate self-help skills and adaptive behaviors,

though there are subtle impairments.

ok, but are the individual states able to view other state's complaints?

a teacher being fired means nothing to me - it's why a teacher is fired that is

important.

if a physician has malpractice suits that end with sealed agreements, you never

what happened-just that there was a suit. doctor may have been innocent and it

was cheaper to settle than rack up atty fees and lose time away from work.
