A teacher and teacher’s assistant at Varnett Charter School in Houston, thought it was a good idea to put three and four-year-old children in a closet for five minutes at a time if they acted up in class. But they not only put them in the closet, they told the students the closet contained “monsters.”

Kendrick, 4, was placed in the closet and told reporters at KHOU:

“There is a monster in there!” Kendrick said. “I don’t like going in the closet. Because it is scary.”

He was placed in the closet for laughing in class. His mother, Kelicia Johnson Chaney, said she is pulling her child from the school.
