Mother ‘Gives Teacher Permission To Tie Schoolgirl, 6, To Classroom Chair’

This is the disturbing image of a schoolgirl tied to a chair in a classroom for being “too restless”.

It has been reported that the six-year-old pupil was subjected to the humiliating situation because her mother told the teacher to do it.

The authorities at the school of Miguel Hidalgo and Costilla, in Nanchital in Mexico, claim the girl’s mother made the request to tie her daughter to her chair.

It was reported the mother believes her daughter has a problem sitting still.

The image has caused outcry on social media.

In the picture, the girl is tied to a green chair at her school desk by brown rope. It is tied around her chest just above her elbows, binding her to her chair.

Adela Osorio Martinez, a spokewoman for the Education Office in Veracruz, said that the “case of a girl being tied to her school desk is being investigated”

She said the girl was tied up with the permission of her mother.

However, the teacher who tied the girl up could still be punished, she said.
