A child in the first grade in Texas was forced to sit on the floor for over a month as a punishment for drawing on her desk.
 
The child’s mother, who did not want her family identified, was informed that her daughter had drawn on her desk through an email from the teacher.
 
The email listed only missing playtime, cleaning the desk and visiting the principal as punishments.
 
However when the little girl arrived at school the next day she found her desk was missing. The teacher told her she wouldn’t get in back until she was in second grade.
 
She sat on the floor for more than four weeks before telling her parents what was happening.
 
"I asked her, ‘Why did you not tell me?' and she said, 'I was too scared to tell you, Mama.' She thought what she had done was so bad she didn't deserve to have a desk."
 
The girl has now been withdrawn from the school and her mother has filed an official complaint. She has also stated she is seeking legal advice to make sure this doesn’t happen to any other children.
 
"I mean it's like a primal instinct that you feel to protect your child," she said. "The fact that I sent her there every day not knowing that that's what she was going into because nobody made me aware, it's horrible."
