Lawyer: Teacher Films Autistic Boy In Distress, Shares Video "For Laughs"



GOODRICH, Mich. - An elementary school teacher is on paid leave from her school in Goodrich, Michigan over an incident involving a 10-year-old autistic student.

CBS Detroit reports that Oaktree Elementary teacher Nicole McVey allegedly shot a cellphone video of the 5th grade child after he got his head stuck in a chair.

McVey can be heard on the video seemingly taunting the student in a classroom full of kids.

"Do you wanna get tasered?" she asked.

Family attorney Patrick Greenfelder said McVey played the video at least three times for her class on a large-screen television.

It really bothers me that a lot of people anymore don't even have the good sense to be ashamed of themselves! Even if it were a child w/no issues, this wouldn't be acceptable. The fact that he's autistic makes this off-the-scale wrong! Totally agre w/ 2:18. Tenure trumps cruelty? I hope not. There should be any charge allowed thrown @ all involved, especially the teacher. Suing shouldn't be a problem when it comes to court, as the teacher so nicely provided evidence of what transpired. POS

Most "teachers" shouldn't be teachers. Anymore it is the easiest degree to get and you are just about guaranteed a job. While I could understand her wanting the incident on film, she should have immediately given the cellphone to another child to film while she either helped to free the child or go and get help. Or she could have used the phone to call for help while she comforted the child.
