Redneck Arrested!
By raincoaster
Behold the redneck jolly jumper. No substitute for the real thing, it is a staple of childcare among those who should not be entrusted with the task of caring for children in the first place.
Such as this guy:
Erie Police say Keith Holbrook was seen duct taping a pair of 3yr. old students to the wall in the “preschool” room at Little Wonders Child Care, and inviting other teachers to watch.
No, anyone who’s ever been in charge of a room full of toddlers for any length of time can perhaps identify with the sentiment (was it Camus who said a thought-murder a day preserved one’s mental health?) but, generally speaking, we refrain from shackling children to the walls, whether with adhesive tape or other means. So, while we revile the actions of the now-fired preschool teacher, we understand the sentiment and can only hope that justice will find a way to give him a better understanding of the inappropriateness of his actions.
Somebody needs a little time-out. Say, eighteen to twenty-four months?

Hasn’t he heard of the velcro play wall? Just as effective and not illegal! (Tho’ I may add this to my list of the uses of that wonderful duct tape…

Oooh, that sounds like fun! Maybe I can get one in my livingroom!
I shall always remember David Letterman’s velcro suit/trampoline/velcro wall with fondness.
