When a child is being bullied by their school staff or teacher?

Lately we have seen a lot about bullying in the news.  Kids used to be the only ones that I knew of that "bullied" other kids. Now it is not just kids that are bullying other kids, it is teacher too.  We send our children to school to be taught, not to be mistreated. Teachers are supposed to protect your kids and make them feel safe, not bully them like the bully on the playground does.  This teacher in New Jersey was caught on audio bullying a child that is autistic.

The former teacher said this: " CNN) -- The former teacher of a schoolboy diagnosed with autism, who is accused by the child's father of mistreating the student, has called the allegations "disingenuous," saying she wasn't there when the alleged classroom incident took place."

"The father, Stuart Chaifetz, said he put a recording device on his 10-year-old son, Akian, and recorded school staff in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, making what he described as inappropriate comments during class."

Chaifetz launched a website and a YouTube video on Monday to publicize portions of more than six hours of recordings of what he says are teachers and aides talking about alcohol and sex in front of the class, punctuated by yelling at his son to "shut your mouth."

School authorities said in a statement Friday that they are "continuing to investigate what occurred in the classroom in question."

"Since the evidence presented is audio only, it is imperative that the improper conduct identified on the recording is correctly identified to the person(s) who committed the conduct," the statement said."

I am still somewhat in disbelief that a teacher who is supposed to teach children and help them from being bullied, is a bully herself!
