A little boy from Michigan says his teachers put tape over his mouth and threw away his lunch and he says he was told not to tell anyone about what happened.
Abdul Dannaoui said it happened back on March 26 at Highview Elementary School, WXYZ reported.
He said it didn't happen only once either. Abdul told his parents and WXYZ that he has been prevented from eating lunch and his snack up to 10 times.
"I'm emotionally heartbroken. Disappointed. That's his second home. That's how they treat a child with asthma?" his mother Hoda said to WXYZ.
School officials told WXYZ that the taping incident happened at Great Start Readiness Program at Cherry Hill Baptist Church and that it was a substitute teacher assistant who scotch-taped Abdul's mouth shut. The person no longer works at the school.
The Dannaouis have filed a police report and are considering legal action against the district, WXYZ reported.
They say a second adult was in the room at the time. That teacher is still working for the district. The family's attorney, Nabih Ayad, told WXYZ, "One of the teachers was discharged. But, they kept the other teacher who said don't tell your mom or dad, and even gave him a bracelet to entice him not to tell anyone."
Abdul is changing schools after the incident.
