I Said Don't Talk Back: Italian Teacher Cuts Off Kid's Tongue

Posted by Karen Murphy

tongue scissorsI had to read this article a couple of times because my jaw was on the floor the entire time.  WTF???  A 22-year old female substitute teacher cut off a seven-year old's tongue with scissors after first making a couple of threats.  The poor boy's tongue has since been stitched back on, but he won't go back to school, has nightmares, and freaks when he sees a knife.  Hel-lo!  I'm thinking that about a thousand years of therapy are due here.

And all they've done so far is suspend the teacher.  I should hope that's only the beginning.  The teacher apologised and claimed it was an "accident".  Accident?  How do you "accidentally" cut off a kid's tongue with scissors?  Those things are slippery!  (not that I've tried)

So can I just say again:  WTF!!!!

Holy Crap!  That's the worst thing I've ever heard.  And accident?  What?  You just accidentally stuck a kid’s tongue between the blades?  Really?
