STUDENT DUCT TAPED TO CHAIR & BEATEN BY 4 CLASSMATES WHILE THE TEACHER WATCHED!

A 12-year-old Dallas student was bound to a chair with duct tape and beaten by four classmates as a substitute teacher stood and ignored the attack, according to the victim's mom.

The Dallas school district is investigating the charges made by Keneshia Richardson, who claims the attackers wrapped tape around her son's mouth to keep him from shouting.

"It was uncalled for," Richardson told The Dallas Morning News, adding her son had trouble breathing.

The woman said his hands were taped to the chair, he was wrapped with a telephone cord, and the attackers knocked him to the ground. The boy's shirt was torn as well, she claimed.

The Monday attack remained under investigation Thursday, although disciplinary action is pending against the students and the substitute.

The teacher was additionally removed from the list of approved district substitutes, said Dallas Independent School District spokesman John Dahlander.

Richardson said her son was apparently targeted because he's in remedial classes, although Dahlander said school officials had heard a different version of the story.

"That's not quite the way that the incident has been described," Dahlander said. "In any event, it is under investigation."

But Richardson said the teacher never intervened - and her son was finally rescued by a girl in his class who scared the attackers away.
