I saw this article and it broke my heart, that is, IF I'm interpretting it correctly. To me, it seems like this little 5 yr old child might have diarhhea and had to clean it up. The part about a gastrointestinal condition led me to that. If that's it, this poor child could indeed be traumatized due to IBS. Anyone else have thoughts after reading this?Lawsuit: Teacher Makes Girl Unclog ToiletBy Associated PressFri Apr 8, 4:10 PMUPDATED 12 HOURS 43 MINUTES AGOBONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - After a girl got sick in the bathroom of her kindergarten class, the teacher made her don rubber gloves and manually remove a clog from the toilet, according to a lawsuit filed by the girl's mother.Lori Januska sued Bonita Springs Charter School this week after she said her 5-year-old daughter, Heather, clogged the toilet Sept. 22 and her teacher made her remove the clog as the entire class watched.The suit said "a vulnerable 5-year-old was subjected to cruel, unusual and traumatic disciplinary actions which directly resulted in severe emotional distress, pain and suffering and mental distress."
