One parent told WFAA that the school district contacted them about the incident and their son told them that the teacher had tied them up and had put tape on their mouths because the were allegedly talking too much. Another parent told WFAA that their child came home crying from school.

Another parent who wished to remain anonymous told WFAA that her daughter came home crying Friday afternoon. Her daughter claimed the teacher threatened to “tie her up too” after the girl stood up and walked to the chalkboard for a closer look.

Investigations by the Arlington Police, Arlington ISD Police, and Child Protective Services did not find any threat of physical harm to the students. But Arlington ISD did tell WFAA that the employee is no longer with the school district.

The Arlington Police Department also announced that the teacher would not be facing any charges according to WFAA.

“…no children were injured, no child’s movements were ever restricted, no child’s breathing was restricted, and no criminal offense occurred.”

The report did not say what grade the students were in. Just that it happened at an elementary school.
