Kayla Chavez, the mother of a Bastrop, TX., Independent School District student wants answers after she claims she found her 5-year-old son was locked inside of a padded room with no adult supervision.
Chavez is just as angry today as she was on Tuesday, when she went to Lost Pines Elementary in Bastrop to bring cupcakes to her 5-year-old son.
“I found my son in a closet, that I thought was a janitor’s closet,” Kayla said.
She says the door was closed and there was no ventilation and no adults around.
He was sitting with his lunchbox inside a square outlined on the floor.
“I heard him as soon as I walked out of the cafeteria screaming ‘I wanna be out! Let me out! Let me out!'” Kayla added.
She let him out, stormed off to the office and withdrew both of her children from school.
Kayla admits her son cries often and has been put in a room with tables and chairs, but never the padded space right next door.
The boy’s father, Joseph Chavez, says he spoke to the principal and asked why they weren’t notified.
“They said that they sent us a phone call but we missed the call. And they left a message but…it doesn’t seem far enough,” he told KVUE’s Tina Shively.
Jospeh claims the principal also said that his son was placed in the padded room because he refused to go to lunch.
