Colorado Middle School Under Investigation After Several Children Had Masks Duct Taped To Their Faces

Teachers in a school district in Colorado are allegedly taping face masks to kids' faces.

An investigation is underway after a sixth-grader from Chinook Trail Middle School sent a selfie to her mother with her mask taped to her face using blue painter's tape.

Stephanie Butler, the young girl's mother, told Fox21 she posted the photo on Friday to make other parents aware of the strict mask policy and to see if other students were 'being taped'. The disturbing photo has since made its rounds on social media.

'It's a type of restraint to me,' Butler told the news station. She said that her daughter explained that her teacher gave her one warning to keep the mask over her nose or she would have to tape it to keep it up.
