(NEW YORK POST) – A Texas teacher and two school assistants have been arrested after they allegedly locked a five-year-old special needs boy up for so long he started eating his own feces.
Melody LaPointe, 47, and teaching assistants Tarah Tinney, 33, and Augusta Costlow, 27, were charged earlier this week with abandoning or endangering a child over the shocking incident in April 2021.

They are accused of putting the boy into an isolation room within a Liberty Independent School District facility, ABC 13 reported. While confined to the room, the little boy fell and injured himself — but the staff allegedly did nothing to help him. He was locked up until he started eating his own feces and drinking his urine.
