Secretary at Denver school charged in duct taping of boy


I read a story of a Denver school secretary that duct taped a boy's mouth shut and binding his hands. She did this because the boy was being rowdy. The lady will get fired but it is a good thing this was noticed and dealt with correctly.
If she had not been fired she could have done it a second time. Having someone that acts like that is not someone that should be around children. It really surprise me that a grown women would do something so immature. It is just interesting how different people would react to different situations. Other people should care about this to. If it is not your kid than that doesn't mean you don't have to care. Think of how you would feel if it was your child or of just if it was any human being. It is not that the woman did it on purpose, she was trying to calm the student. I'm sure she did not mean any harm but only didn't think of the preclusions.

Richard Connell’s “The most Dangerous Game” is about a famous hunter from New York. The hunter falls off of a boat and end up on an island with a man that hunts other men for fun. He is befriended by the man and then the man decides to hunt the other hunter as a competition. The New Yorker gains his freedom again by surviving the game for 3 days. This is kind of like the world we live in today. People try to help other people only to get close to the person so that they can take them down. Lots of people lose something by trusting someone that they don’t know or wouldn’t normally trust. For example, someone goes to the mall and is convinced by a total stranger to buy or do something. As the person is doing that they are tricked and manipulated into doing something that they don’t know or want to do.
