DETAIL OF INCIDENCE:
According to a statement from the Slidell Police Department, they received a complaint from the Department of Children and Family Services about potential child abuse at Lakeside Christian School, where Raymond was headmaster. The complaint stated that Raymond taped multiple students’ mouths shut as a form of discipline. All three students are 13 years old.
“On March 18th, several students were removed from a class due to excessive talking,” the statement alleges. “John Raymond became angry and brought the students to his office. At some point, Raymond took a roll of packing tape and taped the students’ mouths shut by wrapping the tape around their heads.
Raymond allegedly sent the students back to class for around 45 minutes before another school administrator felt uncomfortable with the situation and removed the tape from the students’ faces,” the statement continues. During the encounter, the students claim they had trouble breathing and that the removal process was painful.
