#NBCNews #Texas #Teacher
BIG WHOOP.
You’re pro child abuse? I hope you don’t have access to any children. Get help.
Lol!!!
Oh, I believe it. texas is an evil, worthless dump. Public education here is terrible, mostly because they pay teachers less here, and they do not require substitutes to even have a college degree.
This is terrible. We are teachers and we see no reason to ever treat a child-any child- this way
Bullying usually starts with the teacher or at least has some type of teacher involvement.
I agree and the fact that the little kids quickly started hitting from behind and saying bullying threats shows they weren’t afraid of doing it.
@The Chris & Phaedrus show OMG. People don’t get over something like that. That ruins people’s entire lives. Hope you made it out ok. I had a similar situation, but not to that extreme. I now am quite honed into even the most subtleties of child abuse. Take care.
@Nooshin’s Corner yes, cowards with morons for parents.
@The Chris & Phaedrus show That’s disturbing some people shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near children…
@Missy Donald I agree!
Throw that witch in jail
I’ve definitely thought about doing this…but I can’t imagine someone actually doing that to a child
you’ve thought…about taping a child??
Thought I was the only one. Dude I live in an apartment complex and my neighbors have 2 girls. The young one has so much energy it’s ridiculous. Her older sister was never like her at all. This girl is like 5 years old and from the moment she gets up 7am to moment she sleeps at night 9 pm to 10 pm. My apartment is shaking because she runs all day. I have a camera watching my spot and driveway. You’ll always see her about 15 feet in front of her parents and sis running. She is never chill, ever. I told my wife I wish they would tie her to a chair just for an hour. It’s just insane!
Southern states are wanting to make this legal, Tennessee just passed a bill allowing mechanical restraint of Special Ed students.
The safety of the OTHER STUDENTS and staff are more important than one disturbed child being able to run around crazy and causing harm
@Somnus Waltz just get your children out of these anti white jungles
As a mother of a special needs student; I approve this. It keeps everyone safe. The out of control child, the teacher and the other students.
@justmejenny clown
@Words That I Manifest lol.
Texas teacher should be in jail THATS CHILD ABUSE PERIOD
Look at your Daily paper wherever you live and I am sure you will see real and authenticated Child Abuse. Get Real
yeah she should get the death penalty by public hanging.
@Ringo 17they should still be held responsible
PeopLe of the USA , are YOU bLaind !? if it is CLEAR that you are NOT weLLcomed somewhere , peopLe , Go away , LEAVE , at once , Leave , now !!!! God Damned it !!!!
So, I guess we don’t stick their gum on their nose anymore?
Maybe.
What did he do?
No, we never did that. That’s nasty. Make them spit it in the trash. Write them up if they keep doing it. That’s ion no way analogous to restraining a child. You’re a teacher not a cop. They don’t train you in restraints.
That gum thing bothers me. Humiliation is no way to teach a child a lesson unless you are trying to create a sociopath.
I guess we don’t make them sit in a corner and wear a dunce cap, either. 🤔
This is sickening to see. We entrust teachers to care and nurture children for 8 hours a day, and then we see this. If we can’t trust teachers, then who can we trust especially in regards to the safety of children?
We need cameras in all school rooms now. We need to have outside companies monitoring our children in class that have no affiliation with the schools. Sounds extreme, I know. But, yet, here we are.
Ah, there it is! “There are two sides”. That’s the most classic line used by abusers to shift blame.
👀
NBC — You’re as subtle as Lester in a china shop.
I wonder why they didn’t reveal anything about the teacher who supposedly tapped the child? I think we all know why!
Paulo Yak bingo
Cause she wyte
Yep. Black, gray, Democrat
NOT THE SCHOOL VICTIM BLAMING THE CHILD❕ OMG
Yeah I’ll explain that issue: he wasn’t taught to be told “no” ever in his life. And now the mother is gonna seek out a payday from this. Sorry but I’m gonna side with the school on this one. The mother and brat conspired to get a lawsuit, and hopefully the school district doesn’t take the bait
Of course you’re going to side with the situation for which you have no evidence.
Your world view is based on that which you have no evidence.
It clearly said there is no behavior issues but whether there is or not, whether he was taught the word no or not you don’t tape a child to a chair with their hands taped behind him and then allow other children to assault and threaten that child. Your ignorance is pathetic.
And yes, they deserve a pay day. 100%.
Just another lawsuit another money grab
Migraines are horrible for a kid. My brother had them as a child and still does.
The stress of being humiliated like that could trigger a migraine headache for sure.
Sadly…this stuff isn’t new. I had a teacher that would literally drag us by our ears. My father, grew up in an even worse era. His teacher would spank them with a paddle.
Mhm.. Those born in the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s used to be treated worse than animals. Teachers had full control and were agressive. This included many Catholic schools as well.
70s and 80s as well. And we grew up respectful.
That’s what’s wrong with kids today, no discipline
@Yellowstone loyaltaping someone to a chair isn’t the correct discipline… I wouldn’t even do that to an animal
O my god😯!!!!!!!😳 as hard as Christ rock?
0:04 sad boy =( watching cartoons…
A doctor and police spoke to the child without a parent?
Pay up.
Very bad community. Get out fast and be glad they didn’t murder him🥀
@justmejenny trumper🙄
@Teresa Smith I don’t even know what that means.
@justmejenny you don’t know what trumper means or what Naziism means🤔 📢 SAME DIFFERENCE 🗽
@Teresa Smith if it means that I support Trump then you’re plain wrong. But nice try.
@justmejenny 🤔🐣ok
Anyone else not read taping at first. Jesus i was like why did they show his poor face
Good point! Why did they show the child victim of bullying but not the adult perpetrator?
Yep, they should have had the teachers face.
I read it as “raping’ at first.
Probably deserved it!! 🤷♂️
There are NO 2 sides in this story. The MAJORITY of teachers are garbage
no the minority of your cubs are and spoil it for the rest.
Let me see, another mini Tyrone who was acting like an entitled little brat who pushed his teacher to the limit, now it’s all about his “migraines” and everyone is going to step in to coddle and enable the next generation of mouthy aggressive Tyrones who backtalk and disrespect their teachers. There IS always another side to the story and notice how the mother really down played that. Not going to be qualified for reparations if she actually admitted her kid was outta control.
That little boy doesn’t look mouthy as his mother seems like an intelligent, rational lady. You’re just stereotyping.
BIG DEAL wooosy kids these days, vexacious litigants
“Why is their 2 sides to every story.” There can be a dozen sides to the story if that many witness are there.
This is bad but also allowing drag queens into school is also a problem.
Cameras in classrooms please
I’m beginning to think this way myself…if LEOs are required to wear body cams maybe it’s time for classrooms as well (and I’m a substitute teacher!)
@Eric I’m a substitute too. I’ve been accused of some crazy stuff, but thankfully my history of integrity has saved me…. even that won’t be enough of the social climate and most convincing lie is told against me though. I also think most people don’t truly see the nature of classrooms. I truly only see benefits when it comes to cameras.
The sad truth is: many of your brats act like little savages from The Lord of the Flies. YOU, the parent, don’t teach them any manners, you send them to school simply because it’s free baby sitting, and then you have the utter gall to insist they be treated like royal princes and princesses.
“Two sides to every story.” Yeah, I am sure we should hear Hitler out about why he did the Holocaust.
My son’s school had a time out room they had to put my son in at times. Of course another parent complained and they stopped utilizing it which was not helpful for my child at all. Point being; my son needed it. I am all for restraining a child who needs it. Tape didn’t hurt this boy but I am interested in what the teacher has to say and what video footage would show.
One daughters best friend is a Public School Teacher of Emotionally Disturbed 5th graders. 7 yrs ago one child actually broke her arm. YES some children have very bad behavior in schools. But you DO NOT further the problems by abusing the child.
@justmejenny Look restraints are done by those with Very Proper Training. Even then on. EXTREMELY RARE OCCASIONS. My Mrs is a retired R.N from the Michigan Veterans Facility/Old Soldiers Home-Grand Rapids Michigan. 30 yrs. Old yet many still extremely Strong Ex-military men. But with dementia, Alzheimers , severe PTSD. Even with those often violent men twice her size ,, Restraints RARELY Used. Children even those with extreme behavior issues in my view n Hers (as I showed this article to her) should NEVER be Restrainted. Unless with licensed medical staff doing it. In a private area. Certainly Not in a classroom. With Duct Tape . Don’t opine stupidly.
@Alpha Omega funny, I am also a retired nurse. And restraints were often used in some of the nursing homes I worked in. Then I switched to private care. Some used restraints. And anyone can get trained. I adopted 2 special needs children through my county and one of the requirements was restraint training through a special needs agency. The school my son went to ; the teachers were trained. I am all for restraining anyone who needs it for their safety and the safety of everyone else around them.
@justmejenny I never stated Restraints aren’t used or couldn’t be. This cases was a CHILD Restrainted with Tape. In a classroom in front of others. Every school I know ,public or private usually has a Nurse, Quiet rooms to use if a child is highly upset. Stop Defending Public Abuse use of Restraints n the humiliation of a CHILD, I Question your instincts. Even if you had “Training”!! This isn’t the Victorian era where we tie up disturbed adults Especially CHILDREN then leave them on Public Display. To be mocked n laughed at. You are Disgusting. Training, special needs adopted kids aside.
@Alpha Omega I am not condoning this boy being taped to a chair. I am condoning use of restraints when needed. With that being said; I am curious as to what the teacher has to say and what video footage shows. The mother was speaking for her child and she wasn’t there. Maybe he was being dangerous, maybe she called for extra help. I don’t know the situation. And no point in further discussion when you resort to name calling. And that’s not disgusting?
@justmejenny I sense the child was telling the truth. AND that teacher will lose her job. Plus that School District will be sued. Which they’ll lose,lol.
Thats one cure for ADHD. 😋Also, how does a child know what a migrane is?
He feels the pain and migraines are real. The teacher should have taken him to the office and called his parents. Remember the 6 year old who shot the teacher.
He has a history of migraines. Focus before someone has to tape you to something.
Racist.
That teacher needs to be FIRED
Noo! Put in Jail!!!! For a felony abuse!!!
the amount of special violence/abuse that black children face by teachers needs to be talked about more
Black parents need to homeschool their kids or stop having them in America and then complaining about the after affects. Continuing to do the same thing repeatedly and then complaining because you keep getting the same results is literal insanity. If we can’t afford to homeschool or private school our kids, we need to refrain from having them honestly. People were complained about this in the 80s and here we are a whole generation later, seeing the same thing and still complaining.
United states is getting wild and backwards. good to know they know stories have 2 sides, the victim and the abuser.. and the victim is 10yro while the abusive teacher is getting protected by school autorities. The 10yro victim should be protected
I and my Sons went to Catholic School, and you would get more than taped to a chair if you were not paying attention, or carrying on. Nothing but chaos is the order of the day in Public Schools in Pennsylvania where Black Kids are the majority, and heaven help the Teacher or Administrators if they tried to create a bit of Discipline while trying to Teach. Baltimore, Chicago same thing. Now they are crying because the children are going to Community College and cannot read properly. So it winds up they are their own worst nightmare.
That why when see students attack teachers I don’t have no remorse
Sounds made up like the African-American girl that made up the story about how 3 caucasian boys forcibly cut her dreadlocks, but the truth as always will be revealed in time.
That teacher should be fired! I never allowed anyone to discipline my child. That’s the parents’ job, not the teachers. My son turned out perfectly fine. He was a police officer/county sheriff. I begged him to quit his job. Now, he is a supervisor working with kids who have Autism. I honestly believe that what the teacher did is child abuse.
If this Teacher did this she should be fired. She should never teach again anywhere. I would sue the School.
The school district police have a conflict of interest, being employees of the district. The teacher admitted to the mother that she did it and said she was “just playing” when setting him up to be bullied and triggering a migraine. Yet the school administrators are deeply mystified as to whether it happened, seeking “2 sides” in a situation with extremely unequal power and responsibility. This teacher is *at best* too lacking in skills to teach children. There’s no excuse to do this.
It seems like there covering up for this crooked lying teacher! Teacher needs to be put I JAIL!! that’s a felony child abuse!!
That teacher is going to get her karma and she deserves to get fired and never allowed to be able to teach again and if the boys mother wasn’t in her right mind she would probably regulate on the teacher. I 🙏🙏 that the little boy and his mother get righteous justice.
She should be arrested!
You don’t do it to an animal either. What was a jacked up comment
There are two sides- good and evil.
sounds like a teacher needs a good beatn’
Dear teachers.. Think about your poor choices before you make them. Even if them kids are unruly!
Dear teacher who did this, 👍👍👍👍👍
@yellowstoneloyal8186 you must be the abusive type
If that teacher did that to that child. She doesn’t deserve to be a teacher🤬
Another major lawsuit a child taped to a chair and hit lawsuit. It doesn’t matter if he had an outburst he’s a freakin kid. This better not be racial or it’s gonna get nasty
This kid was probably out of control and needed to be subdued.
Typical search of a lawsuit.
The woke need to go!!!!!!
We drop our children off at school thinking they are safe.
But these teachers are abusive and need to find a different job,or better yet get their teaching license taken away from them and would never be allowed to get near a child again.
You do not hurt our babies and then get away with it because there is “two sides of the story”,he is a child you are the adults act like it!
So teach but don’t abuse our children.
I wander what she would do if this happened to her children or child…blessings to the family.
Teach the kids respect and they get what they give
I’m an Education Assistant, I will not stand by and watch this 😠 I would record for evidence, go to the principal, give evidence and give parents this too..nope..I wouldn’t care if I lost my job, no one does this to a child..especially when I’m there..this is terrible..gets me angry how Education professional gets away with this..
Black kids are the worst, but don’t tape them to chairs. That’s extreme.
I’m thankful my kids are finished with school I hope she is in Jail
That teacher needs to be fired, what gives her the right to do something like that. And for the school to make a remark as to there are 2 sides to a story is just mind blowing.
I’m sure the little angel wasn’t misbehaving
Okay but if he was he shouldn’t have been taped to the chair …
@Mindy Martinez since I’m a Martinez I have to agree
I do not condone this but if you have ever taught, you have to tell students 100 times to stop getting up. It is really irritating when they test your patience because they know there are no consequences.
With the stress teachers are under I’m not surprised one of them might snap.
Still, teachers have the universal ‘out’: Send the offending child to the principal. 🤨 Problem solved – until the next time, anyway. 🤷♀️
If I was the parent that teacher would’ve been in the hospital today and maybe also the principal. Even if it’s not my child I’m going to still want to put hands on an adult treating a child like this. Who finds this funny specially a teacher saying I was just playing whaaaat?? Oh yea Texas
About law suit…..there is 2 sides
1:11 Two sides to every story: The *truth*, and the *lie.* My guess is the child isn’t saying what got him into trouble, but the teacher is also covering his butt, and he *knows* no matter what that child did to aggravate him (the teacher), he is in the wrong. There are better ways of discipline than humiliation.
Koda you need to shut up are you a parent if that was your child how would have recated that child did not deserve to be treated that way regardless of his behavoir.
This is unacceptable. Nothing justifies what was done to this child.
If parents taught there brat children how to behave and do what the teacher tells you to do, then this wouldn’t happen
clown talk clown
@Words That I Manifest Typical millennial response, just another comment from a spoiled kid who cries when you don’t get your way
So you think this is a reasonable punishment? You are what’s wrong with this world.
Wondering if the teacher is a sista
What was once a haven of learning and creativity, has now become a battleground of personalities. Child of 6 shoots his teacher, teacher restrains child with tape, etc.
It took many centuries to be able to offer basic education to all children.
These days the very seedlings of learning are being blighted by bad attitudes.
Western civilisation will be lost to eternity, our peace of mind and high quality of life all lost, due to a fundamental LACK OF RESPECT.
U SAY THERE ARE 2 SIDES TO EVERY STORY A CHILD SUPPOSE TO FEEL SAFE AT SCHOOL THIS IS A VERY VITAL SITUATION A CHILD THIS AGE GET TRAUMATIZE BY HIS OWN TEACHER WHAT SHE DID TO THIS CHILD IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE NEEDS A PSYSICHOTIC DIAGNOSIS A CHILD SUPPOSE TO GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN NOT BE TAPED TO HIS DESK AND BULLIED BY HIS CLASSMATES. ANGER BUILDS UP IN A CHILD THEY FEEL PUNISHED FOR SOMETHING THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT USE TO BE WHERE STUDENTS. PARENTS RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM SCHOOL ABOUT A CHILD BEHAVIOR IN SCHOOL WHERE WAS THE CALL IF R DID THIS HAPPEN NOT KNOWING YOUR CHILD AT SCHOOL BEING TAPED TO HIS DESK BY THE ONE THAT SUPPOSE TO TEACH THEM KNOWADAYS IT HAS BEEN KEPT HIDDEN WHO THE REAL VICTIM IS THE WHOLE TIME THE STUDENT IT USE TO BE CHILDREN SHOULD BE SEEN AND NOT HEARD BUT NOWADAYS IT IS BOTH SEEN AND HEARD THERE IS NO 2 SIDES TO THIS STORY THE CHILD WAS STARIGHT OUT BULLIED BY HIS TEACHER AND EVEN HIS CLASSMATES PUT CAMERAS IN CLASSES AND THE TRUTH WILL SET EVERYBODY FREE RESPECT IS RESPECT
Not shocking behavior from a book burning, racist, bigoted nasty state.
Beware!
A lot of racist white people justifying a child being abused at school.
I am old and no harm. Share mine to help save life from Assumption university. Assumption uni installed recorder hiding in teachers office. AU stole teachers’ voice chat and uploaded on social media for many years. I was one of the victims. Violation of privacy and safety led to deadly incidents. I had been followed, waited, harmed and robbed in in front of my home.
And he’s probably still attending this same identical school. SMH
She should be ashamed of herself.
This is sickening. Too many stories of teacher abuse especially against our black children. Black parents may want to start homeschooljng your kids. These schools are not safe!
Children are in this world and they suffer also that why we have child protective service
