Italian teacher cuts off noisy kid's tongue

Milan - An Italian teacher has been suspended by her school in Milan after cutting off the tongue of a lively 7-year-old child with a pair of scissors, daily Corriere della Sera reported Tuesday.

The boy has since had his tongue stitched back but is afraid to go back to school. His parents say he suffers nightmares and runs away whenever he sees a knife. They are now suing the school for damages.

The incident took place a week ago but was only reported on Tuesday.

According to Corriere, the 22-year-old substitute teacher threatened the child twice with a pair of scissors before actually chopping it off.

'Pull out your tongue. I'll cut it, and you'll no longer talk,' she was quoted as telling the child.

The teacher, who has only been identified by her initials R S, has since apologized, claiming it was an accident.

The school's principal, Anna Maria Dominici, has suspended the teacher and ordered an investigation, saying her conduct could in no way be excused.

How often do you think a teacher accidentally cuts off a child's tongue shorty after threatening to do just that?

Jeez-Louise.

well at least now he's tongue tied.

That left me in stitches.

Take it to the bad pun thread, you two....

anyone ever heard of a timeout instead of cutting the poor kids tounge out

but yeah that teacher is obviously fucked in the head.

I cant say the thought hasnt crossed my mind, but never would i even get close to doin this. Just kick his ass out of class.

I've said this about little kids before but to do it? That bitch had some balls

I'd like to see a picture of this 22 year old substitute teacher.

Those Italians are so litigitious. Imagine, suing a teacher over a little thing like this. I mean, they already SUSPENDED her.
