Behavior Intervention Out of Control

In a rural school district in Harvard, Illinois a substitute teacher was arrested for using masking tape to bind  the arms, legs and mouths  of two students with special needs.  The teacher's first explanation was that he did it as a means of  discipline, but then claimed he was joking.  The only one really out of control in this situation was the teacher. Criminal charges are pending.

Crimimal charges against the teacher are felony unlawful restraint. 2 counts
to be exact. They were the headlines on todays NW Herald. The teacher is facing a maximum of 3 years in jail if convicted. If you read the article it makes your stomache roll. I hope the man spends 3 years in jail!
