Mom wants teacher fired for using hot sauce on autistic student
November 4, 2014 - 3:39 pm
A North Carolina mom is outraged after her son’s teacher reportedly used hot sauce to discipline the autistic child for touching his nose in class.
“She took advantage of him, and she needs to be held accountable,” Cindy Joseph told WSOCTV. “I don’t think she should be allowed to be teaching period with any kids, whether they have a disability or no disability.”
The boy, 11-year-old DJ, is unable to speak and could not communicate what happened at school, but the school principal caught the teacher in action.
