A southeast Texas teacher has been fired after sending expletive-laden text messages about a special-needs student to the boy's mother.

Tiffany Lynn Elfstrom posted a screenshot of the messages on Facebook on Monday.

According to Elfstrom's post, the teacher at Levi Fry Intermediate School in Texas City called that morning to let her know that 13-year-old Jayden wanted to go home and refused to do his schoolwork.

While she was on the phone, Elfstrom got two text messages from the teacher that were apparently meant for someone else.

"This lil mother [expletive] is crying like a baby for mommy because he wants to go home," the first one said.

"Omg I just want to omggggggg pull all my damn hair out," read the second, two minutes later.

Elfstrom said she was shocked to learn that this is how the teacher felt about special-needs children. Jayden has been diagnosed with autism, ADHD and bipolar disorder, she said.

"I just want to cry because I have put my most precious possession in this teacher's hands this whole school year," she wrote.

Elfstrom told KPRC-TV that she confronted the teacher on the phone.

"She told me that she was trying to text herself," she told the station. "Now, I'm not tech savvy or smart, but I'm not tech stupid either."

She also notified an assistant principal when she went to pick up her son at the school about 40 miles southeast of Houston.

Texas City ISD said in a statement that the teacher, whom it didn't name, admitted to sending the messages but didn't intend for Elfstrom to receive them.

"No matter her intention, the text is highly inappropriate and does not represent the character of people we want teaching our students," the statement said. "She was immediately removed from the classroom. We investigated the incident and she no longer has a contract with our district."
