11-year-old North Carolina boy claims teacher taped his mouth shut

A North Carolina mother was shocked at the selfie her son sent from school showing his mouth taped shut.

She says her 11-year-old son Brady Webster can be talkative and a class clown, but she is distraught about the way a Smithfield Middle School teacher allegedly handled his behavior.

“So, I asked, ‘What is that? Who did that?’ And he didn’t respond,” Catherine Webster said.

The text she got from her son on Feb. 14 from inside the school showed painter’s tape stuck across the sixth grader’s face.

“Just layer after layer, there were some pieces that went right up to his lower eyelid,” Webster said.

The boy says his English and language arts teacher put the tape there.

“So, I showed the principal the photo, and she took us into her office,” Webster said.

That is disgusting and although the person resigned, they will be able to grab another position what with the shortages in the profession. Which is even more disgusting.
