Katy is supposedly one of the best districts for special needs in the Houston area, but this is the second issue I have seen with them recently. These are both from the same elementary school.

KATY, Texas -- Parents are outraged after learning that special needs students at Exley Elementary in Cinco Ranch had vinegar-soaked cotton balls put in their mouths.

Tiffany Joseph has children at the school.

"I would be devastated if that happened to my children," said Joseph. "I mean I don’t think it’s anyone’s place to do that. I wouldn’t do that to my dog."

The "unapproved technique," as KATY ISD calls it, reportedly happened last year, but word got out after a tipster claimed to see it firsthand.

"I couldn’t believe what happened," said Maureen Buliclic. "That’s really terrible."

It scares me now, because I don't know what's happening in my child's classroom. The new school has video and audio tapes of the kids, so I can go into the office and watch him on camera and hear what they are saying as they are teaching him.
