JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. - Four wrestlers at David Crockett High School are expected to be disciplined after taping a 14-year-old boy to a toilet seat, taking a picture and posting it around the school.
The boy's mother, Linda Clark, said the hazing incident happened two weeks ago, but nothing was done about it.
"I think it is a shame and a disgrace that my son was humiliated like this and it was unpunished," Clark said.
Clark said her daughter took one of the photos to Crockett principal Henry Marable around the time of the incident, but nothing was done. Clark went to the school Monday and confronted Marable.
Marable said one of the boys was not in school on Tuesday, and he wanted to get all four together before handing down any discipline.
Washington County Director of Schools Grant Rowland said a student typically would be suspended 10 days for this type of offense.
"The whole thing is completely ridiculous," Rowland said.
