Last week it was reported that in Italy, a judge ordered a 13 year-old girl to have an abortion. This week, M&C is reporting on a teacher from Italy who cut off the tongue of a 7 year-old student who was acting unruly. The teacher claims it was accident.
"Pull out your tongue. I'll cut it, and you'll no longer talk,' the 22 year-old substitute teacher was quoted as telling the child.
The child, who unfortunately obliged, has had the piece of tongue stitched back on and is now too scared to return to school. The teacher, however has been placed on suspension.
Suspension!?
I don't know what type of scissors Italian grade school classes are using, but I remember the ones in my classrooms. I was lucky if those thick monsters things would cut through construction paper, let alone a part of my body. This had to be absolutely excruciating for that child. Accident or not, why isn't this horrible woman in jail?
