One Florida family is angry with their daughter’s school after they claim their 6-year-old was sent home on the bus without pants after having an accident at school.
Raymond McCurdy said his daughter came home Tuesday afternoon from Belle Terre Elementary School in Palm Coast, Florida "humiliated and crying" after she got off the bus in nothing but her shirt and underwear, WKMG reports. According to McCurdy, his daughter had raised her hand to use the restroom in class earlier that day, but was ignored by the teacher, WKMG reports.
McCurdy told WKMG that his daughter has medical issues that dictate that she use the restroom often and said the incident made him worried for her safety going home.
"What would have happened if my kid would have gotten touched by somebody?" McCurdy said.
His daughter has had accidents in the past, McCurdy said to WKMG, but she has come home fully clothed. He said she was sent home in just her underwear because school officials thought “she had a long enough shirt,” according to WKMG.
The McCurdy’s told WKMG that the school was aware of their daughter’s condition, but it had not been a problem until they moved to Florida last month.
"Now that we come here, we have all these issues," the girl's mother, Jennifer McCurdy, said.
Belle Terre Elementary School issued a statement saying “there are procedures and protocols when incidents such as this happens” and that they invited the McCurdy family to discuss the internal investigation they performed, but the family declined, according to WKMG. The family has also hired a lawyer, saying they “want justice for their daughter.”
