The Heart2Heart Montessori Academy said that the situation had been “extremely exaggerated by a very upset parent.”

This week an employee at Heart2Heart Montessori Academy in Parker County took the photograph above of a boy sleeping under duct tape, which did not show the boy's face. She then showed the picture to parents, and quit her job, a local NBC affiliate reports.
Lorrie Almquist, of Cresson, Texas, was shocked and angry when she learned that her 3-year-old son and another child had been duct taped to their mats at Heart2Heart.

Although the taped boy in the photo is not her son, Almquist said she received a call a day later from Pam Decker, the owner of Heart2Heart. Decker apparently took responsibility for the incident, and admitted that Almquist's son had also been taped down.
Decker had been complaining for weeks about Almquist's son not sleeping during nap time, and had asked Almquist to buy a weighted blanket to help keep him from getting up during the designated nap time.
