And this happened at a Christian school. Wow. I don't care if it was a past teacher — it happened. Principal should be held responsible as well as teacher. Look at who is being held responsible on Brentwood for an incident just as bad. —Vicki McKnight LaBarge
I actually have more support for the school and the way they are handling it! —Tina Marshall

I just moved here and this is disturbing... I hope the parents stand firm for their child's rights. —Wendy Heister Bernacki
So sick and disturbing! —Sabrina Bush Peters
This church has been a wonderful addition to this community for years. The event, in consequence, was some time ago. The person is no longer employed. The church is doing the Christian thing here. It is nice to know that in Christianity there is also such a thing as honor. —David Boyd
If the preschool can't protect a child from one teacher how will they protect several children. There had to be screaming or crying from the child. Why was none of this heard? My child would be taken out of the school and programs until the staff could prove 100 percent safety of my child. —Kathy Davis
