Students Say They Were Bound & Gagged

NEWARK (CN) - School custodians bound and gagged four second-graders in a bathroom and took photos of them, and school administrators blew it off as a "joke gone bad," parents claim in court.

Parents of three children claim the lame response from the Long Branch Public School Board and The Gregory School has led the community to believe the families are "creating a proverbial 'mountain out of a molehill.'"

...

Defendants include the alleged assailants, Kevin Garifine and Robert S. Rego.

The parents claim that VO and another 7-year-old entered the Gregory School bathroom while Garifine and Rego were doing maintenance.

&quot T)he custodians demanded that VO and the other student 'play a game' and then forcibly and violently tied these students' hands together with tape," the complaint states.

Shape a pop tart into a gun? That's serious. Bind and gag some kids, well it's all just a fun old joke.

1. School custodians "playing a game" with 7 year olds?

Yeah, that's not creepy at all.

2. I know I'd go to jail for it, but I'd track them down and beat the crap out of them.

Well, at least for my own kids. It isn't a joke in any way shape or form. Those three kids will be traumatized for life. Those "custodians" need to do some serious jail time with other inmates who have an ample supply of duct tape.

3. Unbelievable. What were the school administrators

thinking? The custodians should have been fired on the spot.

4. "Zero tolerance," my ass

School administrators can tolerate a helluva lot if it's the adults who are misbehaving.
