#4 This video has gone viral and many are outraged at the teacher's actions. Here's some of the comments: "As a parent of children in Harrison County schools, I am horrified by that woman's behavior. Not only did she crunch that sweet child's heart by doing that, but she is showing the other students that kind of behavior is OK. It isn't OK at all. "While I do not know the child or his family, I am part of his community. I can not stand to think that people can treat our children that way. I have already emailed the superintendent. I hope something can be done."
