Tammy Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Miami Lakes teacher faces 5 years for putting hot sauce in autistic student's drink Wednesday, September 23, 2009 A Miami-Dade County jury found a special needs teacher guilty of abuse after authorities said she put hot sauce in a student's soda, WFOR-Ch. 4 reports. Sylvia Tagle was convicted of abuse after she was accused of giving the soda with hot sauce mixture to an autistic student to teach him a lesson. But Tagle says the boy grabbed the soda from her desk when she was with other students. Jurors found Tagle not guilty of three other charges, including pulling a student's hair and not changing soiled diapers. Her attorney says she's a strict but dedicated teacher. Tagle taught at the Bob Graham Educational Center in Miami Lakes. Her sentencing is set for Oct. 7; she could face a maximum of five years in prison.

KidsHappen Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have been wondering what is going on with adults in general. Lots of crazy outburst lately. Has our society become so stressful that weaker members are just cracking under the pressure. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdeveson Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 It's not just the teachers. The students are going nuts too. This past week in South Florida 2 children killed fellow students (both stabbed their victims), two loaded guns were found in lockers, a student was arrested when his dad called the police to say his son had left for school with a gun (?), and any number of other weapons were confiscated. I went to public school here in South Florida and it was bad enough then. I wouldn't send a dead dog to public school here now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
