Colorado Teacher Cleared by Police After Placing Tape on Children's Mouths

An Aurora, Colorado teacher accused of taping her student's mouths shut has been cleared of any wrong doing by police.

According to police the teacher joked with the children that if she taped their mouths shut, maybe they would be quiet when the class was in the library.

The second graders, at Fulton Academy of Excellence, thought the idea was funny, and asked the teacher to place tape on their mouths.

They continued to laugh and joke about it while the tape was on their mouths and throughout the rest of the school day.

It was not until after one of the children told a parent, that there was any problem.

The teacher could still face disciplinary action, from Aurora Public Schools, and will stay on paid administrative leave while a decision is made by the district.
