You. are. kidding. me. There are just no words for how someone could get away with that in this day and age.
My dad tells a story about when he was a kid in Baytown in the 60s. There was a poor girl in his first grade class, who always came to school unwashed and wearing dirty clothes. One day the teacher set up a big tub at the front of the class and bathed her in front of everyone. The mind boggles that there were eras in which people thought that sort of behavior was acceptable.
