AN AMERICAN dad’s video about how his autistic son was humiliated by his teacher and an aide at school has become a viral sensation.

Stuart Chaifetz of New Jersey was told that his son Akian (10) was having violent outbursts at Horace Mann Elementary School in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

He said he had never seen his son behave in this way and after six months contact with the school about the issue, decided to send his son to school on February 17 2012 wearing a wire.

He recorded six-and-a-half hours of tape which he edited down to seven minutes and created a YouTube video.

It is understood that after the school saw the video the teacher in question was moved and the aide was fired.

Cherry Hill school district issued a statement saying: “This is a personnel matter that the district took seriously and handled appropriately and there will be no further comment from the district.”

Mr Chaifetz is now campaigning to change New Jersey’s legislature stating that any teacher who bullies a child should be immediately fired and not relocated.

He is also seeking a public apology from the teacher and the aide.
