Special needs girl abused at local school

[gunner69]

When 8 year old Shaylyn Searcy arrived home on the bus she couldn't even walk. Her feet had been duct taped to the point that the circulation was being cut off and her parents couldn't remove it easily. It happened at Westlake Elementary School. Heres the news story
Also some are posting on the schools FaceBook
Its sad to think there are those out there that would treat a small 8year old special needs girl this way. Hopefully they'll find out who's behind this and do more than just fire them.

Just another example of people in authority abusing their perceived power.
People suck sometimes.

Parents workin' like dogs to make more money to pay more taxes to pay grownups to protect grownups who hurt their kids.
Yep. Your tax dollars at work.

I don't believe I should take the law into my own hands.
I do believe in justice though.
Angered, saddened, and would gladly help out the parents in their time of need.
THOSE responsible should be hung in public as an example right next to some of our politicians that help and enable this behavior.

As an alum of Westlake Elementary (Go Wildcats!), I am saddened that my old school is in the news this way.

The Law and Justice are often two very different things.

Well, there goes the argument that it only happens in other school districts in other states.

What was that other story where a teacher was fired for posting pictures of students on FB with duct tape on their mouths ?

I feel bad for the little girl and sadly, your statement is correct.

 

[stephen87]

Agreed. I know her aunt and have for a few years. She mentioned this the other day. The family is livid over it. Why someone would do this is beyond me. I hope they find out who it was and they lose all their licensing.

Looks like wthr will be interviewing the little girl tonight at 11pm on what happened. Hopefully something will be done about this. Indianapolis News Video | Weather Video Forecast | Sports - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

Someone needs to be prosecuted for this and spend a little time in prison. This, to me, was a blatant example of child abuse. There is no excuse for why they did what they did to her. I don't care if she was throwing tantrums, taking her shoes off, whatever. She is a special needs child and anyone who was working with her damn well knew this and shouldn't be employed there if they can't accept the responsibilities of managing her and others like her.

I applaud her parents for doing the right thing and taking immediate legal action and making the public aware of what happened. My heart goes out to them and their daughter who was the victim in all of this.
