A Michigan teacher is under fire after she filmed herself and a school principal teasing a young autistic student who got stuck in a chair.
Nicole McVey is facing calls to quit Oaktree Elementary School, in Goodrich, after she stupidly recorded herself and boss Michael Ellis taunting the 10-year-old boy who has Asperger's syndrome. The video shows the pupil struggling to free himself from the furniture.
She asks the boy whether he wants to be tasered and, on telling the kid maintenance is on their way with help, Ellis is heard stating, "It's not really an emergency in their book."
McVey bizarrely emailed the incriminating video to co-workers who ended up forwarding it to school administrators.
Ellis has since resigned from his post, while McVey is now facing tenure charges and could be fired.
"You hear of bullying by other students and other kids in class ... but I have never had a case with teachers and administrators bullying," said attorney Patrick Greenfelder, for the boy's family.
It's not clear why McVey filmed the incident on a cellphone.
Goodrich School Board Superintendent Scott Bogner told ABC 12 that an investigation into the incident was under way.
He added that if the "behaviors are clearly not in keeping with the policies of the district" or "raise concerns about professional judgment" then the board would file tenure charge.
djhb @ those dumbass bitches defending her at the end.
"There has NEVER been an incident where she has bullied any of those children, YES she was recording him making light of the situation because she has a sense of humor"
Hope that other b*tch is fired and I hope both never get to teach other schools ever again. I'm glad that woman was stupid enough to send the video to her colleagues
That's horrible. She could have helped him. Now, if it was this other kid who was autistic at my high school, I don't know if anyone would have helped. That sounds bad but the things he said to people and got away with just because he was autistic was even more disgusting. And before you say anything, he's like Susan Boyle except he talks reckless and she doesn't.
