Disabled girl returns from school with duct taped ankles (updated with copy & paste)

I'm so angry I could fly there and beat someone.

Nate and Elizabeth Searcy were shocked Monday afternoon when their daughter Shaylyn, who has Down Syndrome, arrived home from school with her feet and ankles heavily wrapped with duct tape.
The 8-year-old girl could not even stand up and walk down the aisle of the bus, said her mother, Elizabeth Searcy, 29. Shaylyn attends Westlake Elementary School in Wayne, Ind., west of Indianapolis.
“She said, ‘I can’t. It hurts.’ So we had to carry her off the bus,” Searcy said. “She had duct tape all the way from her feet up around the tops of her ankles. And it was industrial duct tape. It literally pulled fabric off her socks and vinyl off her shoes, it was so strong.”
Searcy said her daughter sometimes refuses to put on her shoes. She speculates that is why someone used duct tape in this case.
“They have called me about it before,” Searcy said. “I don’t know why they couldn’t have called me again this time.”
The Searcys immediately took their daughter back to the school, Elizabeth Searcy said, and sought help removing the duct tape.
It required 30 minutes to remove it, she said.
The girl had bruises from the tape, her mother said.
Advocates for special needs children, such as Lisa Wells, executive director of Down Syndrome Indiana, said the incident is “rocking” their community.
Wells said her organization does not support the disciplinary action that she called “seclusion and restraint.”
USA also picked up the story, here's the video:

They should be brought up on child abuse charges. I don't know how this mother kept her cool and brought the girl back to school to take off the tape. I would be in jail if I went back up to that school. I really hope the police arrest whoever did this to her.

Has there been no response from the school? Somebody should go to jail for this. Seriously.

Did this happen on the bus? How did this poor girl get on the bus without someone else knowing? I would absolutely pommel someone if they did this to my child (especially as a parent of a child who repeatedly takes his shoes off).

I am seriously shaking with rage for this girl. How DARE anyone do this to a child, let alone a special needs one? What the hell is WRONG with people?!?!?!??
I guarantee that school does not have the properly trained special education aids/teachers available for this child. Some jerkoff probably lost their patience with her and did this. I don't care if they were Down's syndrome or not, NO ONE has a right to do this to any kid. Unreal

Assholes. The world is sadly full of too many of them.
I hope they sue the pants off that district and WIN.
That poor kid. If she was my daughter, I'd be in jail at the moment because I'm pretty sure I'd kill someone for doing that to her.

All of this, exactly.
