'I'll kick your a**': Special needs student secretly video tapes TEACHER bullying him in class



A special education teacher in New Jersey unloaded a profanity-filled tirade on a special needs student - telling the 15-year-old he would 'kick his a**.'

No one believed Julio Artuz that his teacher at Bankbridge Regional School in Gloucester County, New Jersey, was bullying him, so he used his cell phone to secretly record a rant two weeks ago.



'What’s gonna happen to me? ... I’ll say whatever I want to say. You don’t like it, oh well,' the teacher taunts the teen.

SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO



Bullying: Julio Artuz said no one believed that his teacher picked on him, so he secretly recorded the educator

Allegations: After Julio turned the video over to school administrators, they put the teacher on paid leave and launched an investigation

The teacher is now on paid leave and the school board will determine whether to fire him over the aggressive language.



While Julio went public with his allegations of harassment and bullying, the teacher remains anonymous.



NBC10 in Philadelphia, which aired the disturbing video, blurred out the teacher's face and didn't name him.

And when the Gloucester County school board meets tonight, it will decide in private whether to fire the teacher. School officials also would not name him.



Special needs: Julio says his teacher's tirades made him feel 'like trash.' Even his parents didn't believe him until they saw the video

In the video, the teacher - wearing an orange polo shirt - tells Julio: 'I’ll kick your ass from here to kingdom come until I’m 80 years old.'



Julio tells the teacher: 'Don't threaten me.'

'What are you going to do? What are you going to do?' the teacher asks as he walks closer to Julio's desk.



The video begins with Julio asking his teacher not to call him 'special.'



This seems to set the educator off: 'What? Oh my God, f******g… What does the title on the front of that school say? Special education.'

'Just don't call me special,' Julio repeats.

Anonymous: The teacher's identity has not been revealed, despite the allegations, and the Board of Education will discuss his case behind closed doors

The boy's parents didn't believe that a teacher could bully their son, but they were shocked when they saw the video.

'I was appalled by what was going on. I don't appreciate my son being called out at school,' Julio's dad told NBC10.



The 15-year-old needs support and encouragement, not intimidation, the father says.



Says Julio: 'It makes me feel like I'm trash.'

The school district has refused to comment on the video except to say that the teacher in question has been put on paid leave.



Superintendent Michael Dicken issued a statement saying: 'Our school district takes all bullying, harassment, and intimidation allegations seriously. We do not tolerate it. The safety and well being of our students is our first and foremost concern.'

Board of Education president Marlene A. McConnell said she has seen the video, but wasn't willing to comment on it until after the school district investigation.



'You can’t always take what you see at face value,' she said.
