A kindergarten teacher in Connecticut has been arrested for allegedly forcing a 5-year-old boy to eat food the child had thrown in a garbage can.

Sixty-seven-year-old Anne O'Donnell, a teacher at Park City Magnet School in Bridgeport, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of risk of injury to a minor.

Read the full story here

What in the world was this woman thinking?  Forcing a child to eat food that he just threw into the garbage is disgusting.  I hope they stop this woman from teaching ever again.

Sounds like her teaching days are over, and rightly so.

Wasting food is worse.

(the garbage can was probably nice and clean)

Who’ve got a lot to say


This is horrible! I have been in education and this is just not something that teachers with any sense do to children!

Just stupid. Time for a new career choice.

Strange but I wonder if there's more to the story.
Ryan L. Mar 19, 2009, 5:59pm EDT
I've heard of such behavior in hazing, but to kids? What in the world was she thinking!?

Gross.

I wonder if these people did too many drugs when they were young as their judgment is way off base.
Ryan M. Mar 19, 2009, 8:59pm EDT
That is nasty. I can't believe she could think of doing that.
Don S. Mar 19, 2009, 9:29pm EDT
I don't know what she was thinking. Not very well apparently.
Janet H. Mar 19, 2009, 10:16pm EDT
gross. were the nuggets still wrapped or loose when they went into the trash?
Mary G. Mar 19, 2009, 10:57pm EDT
You sure find all the sad cases.
Bryan B. Mar 20, 2009, 6:19am EDT
Teresa? You wonder if there is more to the story? Is there ever any excuse to make a child eat out of the garbage? I dont care what the kid did or didnt do forcing a child to eat out of the garbage is unsafe and child abuse!

She sounds like the "old school" teachers I had in elementary school.
