Two Dekalb County teachers have resigned after allegations emerged they used ‘zip ties’ to tie the hands of students as young as four behind their backs as a form of punishment.
According to Atlanta new station WSB-TV 2, the incident occurred at Oak View Elementary in Dekalb County on Monday of last week.
It was reported that the school sent out a letter to parents regarding the incident after a parent called the school to complain. The letter reportedly informed parents the teachers involved had been suspended pending an investigation.
