Taping a talkative child's mouth shut may not be the best approach, but it is not a crime, a Cobb County magistrate decided Thursday.
Criminal charges will not be filed against a current and a former staff member at a Cobb after-school program where a student's mouth was taped shut last week.
James Arrowood, director of public safety for Cobb schools, said campus officers went to Magistrate Court Thursday morning. But after speaking to a magistrate, "it was determined there was no crime," Arrowood said.
"There was inappropriate conduct and improper action," he said. "It was definitely inappropriate what happened. When we presented this matter to the magistrate, they determined warrants would not be issued." Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Winston Cigarettes - Boflex
