Pre-K student forced to unclog toilet with hands

Posted

Flagler Co., Fla. - A teacher's lesson turned into an investigation at Rymfire Elementary School on Monday after Tiffany Huffman says her 4 year-old son was forced to stick his hands in the toilet

"He had just got done going number one and number two, so i guess all that was in the toilet whenever he had to do that bare handed," Huffman said. She says the pre-kindergarten teacher claimed her son has clogged the toilet before, and this time she told him her son needs to " clean his own mess up this time."

The teacher admitted to doing it, but claimed the toilet was clean, but says, "the teacher shouldn't be doing it in the first place. It's endangering his health. I realized afterwards that there was cuts on his hands, but like the bacteria, anything could set in on those cuts."

Flagler County School District released the following statement, saying in part: "We take these allegations seriously and an investigation has been launched."

Huffman says, "It's frustrating to me because I want my kids to go to that school, but he won't be going back into her classroom that's for sure."
