					<description><![CDATA[About fifteen years ago, my Sister took the classes to be a substitute teacher for her children&#039;s school district.  One Saturday my Nephews were playing with their friend.  There was a big tree in the yard that the boys were told not to climb.  Well my Nephew&#039;s friend climbed it and fell out of it.  My Sister called the boy&#039;s parents and he was taken to the hospital.  Fortunately all he ended up with was a bruised hip.

A few days later my Sister was teaching the boy&#039;s class when she was told to take them down to the Nurse&#039;s Office for a Scoliosis check.  The girls went one way and the boys the other.  They had to strip down to their underwear for the check.  The Nurse saw the bruise on the boy&#039;s hip and asked what happened?  He said that he fell.  The Nurse calls my Sister in to the room to show her the bruise.  The Nurse told my Sister that the boy said that he fell and my Sister said that was correct that he was with her sons when he fell and that she called the parents.  The Nurse didn&#039;t believe her and filed a report with Children&#039;s Services.  The parents were removed from their place of work by Sheriffs Deputy&#039;s in handcuffs.  Their son was placed in foster care for six weeks until a Judge decided that he had fallen.  My Sister was told that she was not allowed to get involved because of district policy.  She was the only adult witness and told them what they could do with their policy.]]></description>
