A 6-year-old girl was humiliated when her elementary school sent her home from school wearing nothing but underwear and a t-shirt.
When Florida dad Raymond McCurdy picked his daughter up from the school bus, he saw that she was carrying a bag of her own soiled clothing, was humiliated and in tears. As News 6 reports, after McCurdy learned why his daughter was put in this terrible situation, he’s speaking out to ensure it never happens again.
McCurdy’s daughter was in class at Belle Terre Elementary School in Palm West Coast when she raised her hand, needing to go to the bathroom. When the teacher reportedly ignored the girl, she did what any young kid would do because she couldn’t hold it in any longer.
The girl wound up soiling her underwear and pants, and rather than calling the McCurdy’s to bring their daughter a change of clothes, the school forced her to ride home on the school bus in nothing but a soiled shirt and a pair of underwear issued by the school. This led the girl to be bullied and laughed at by her peers, her mother Jennifer McCurdy said.
The McCurdys said that their little girl “has medical issues and when she has to go, she has to go.” This is something that they said the school knew about. McCurdy immediately went to speak with the assistant principal about the incident, saying:
“We asked her why my daughter was sent home in just panties and a T-shirt, and she begins to tell me, ‘We thought she had a long enough shirt to be able to put her on the school bus and send her home,’” McCurdy tells News 6.
Meanwhile, the Belle Elementary dress code states that clothing must be a minimum of 4 inches above the knee, unless it is deemed inappropriate. The parents say that their daughters shirt did violate this policy, because it left more skin than that exposed.
What do you think about the school sending this girl home like this? Do you think it was appropriate?
