A Georgia Pre-K teacher is accused of punishing a 4-year-old student by locking him in a closet and bathroom.
Latanya Murray's 4 year old son, said when he is bad... His Pre-K teacher at Copeland Elementary, Francine Wynn, will lock him in a closet - located in the classroom.
Murray says a paraprofessional reported that she saw the boy being put in the closet.
That's when the principal called a meeting with Murray and her son.
Richmond County Board of Education superintendent, Frank Roberson, says the teacher was immediately put on administrative leave, and that the allegations are not being taken lightly.
