THREAD: Forcing kids to tape masks to their faces is CHILD ABUSE. It's happening in my backyard in Colorado Springs, according to one family. I spoke this morning with Stephanie M., mother of Rylee, a 6th grader at Chinook Trail Middle School in District 20, pictured here.

Stephanie rushed to Chinook Trail Middle School after her daughter texted her that a teacher gave her a warning and handed her blue painter's tape to seal the mask to her face. Rylee told her that at least 1 other student was also directed to do the same. /2

Here's a snippet of convo Stephanie had w/ Rylee & 2 school officials at Chinook Trail Middle School on 10/15, where Rylee describes the "warning" policy the teachers imposed as they handed out the tape to mask violators. Full 14-min audio coming./3

I have reached out to the Chinook Trail Middle School principal, as well as the District 20 superintendent Thomas Gregory. No response. Parents and 1 state rep. have pressed for a public parents' meeting on the mask mandate since late September. No response. @academyd20 /4

Stephanie pulled Rylee from Chinook Trail Middle School on Friday & has asked for an investigation. "It's wrong. It's child abuse," she told me. "And it was a horrible decision to implement the mask mandate" in the 1st place. /5

Here are the unanswered letters from Monument CO leaders & state Rep. @shane_sandridge pressing @AcademyD20 superintendent Thomas Gregory for a public meeting w/parents regarding the school mask mandate. /6

Colorado Springs @AcademyD20 isn't only district making students tape masks to their faces. This report shows that a teacher in Las Vegas did the same thing. HOW MANY KIDS IN AMERICA ARE BEING CHOKED OFF WITH MASK TAPE?? /7

"Investigation" now underway, acc. to D-20 statement e-mailed to me late yesterday. Here's a local news follow-up on the masking tape tyrants via @FOX21News. More to come - fox21news.com/top-stories/co… /9

I asked El Paso County Health Dept for their opinion on taping masks to kids' faces. Here is their statement: "EPCPH has not been consulted about allegedly taping masks to children. EPCPH would not recommend taping masks." @AcademyD20 @FOX21News @Darcy4CO @shane_sandridge /10
