N.J. Teacher & Aid Fired After Bullying Student

A father in Cherry Hill, New Jersey sent his 10-year-old autistic child to school with a wire tap and discovered that his son had been severly bullied (to tears) by the teacher and the aid. The outraged father uploaded a YouTube video to demand justice and his video quickly reached four thousand views. The superintendent of the school district responded, telling the father and the media that the teachers were fired. The teachers were not identified and wished for the matter to remain private.

It's almost unbelievable that something like this could be allowed to happen. This incident shows that teachers and adults can be responsible for bullying. In the article it said that parents are asking this father how to wire tap their child; I wouldn't be surprised if things like this are happening all over the nationl.
