Harnett teacher accused of taping child's hands resigns

The kindergarten teacher, whose name hasn't been released, had been placed on leave with pay after the alleged incident was reported March 30, officials said. 

A personnel investigation involving the teacher has been completed, Harnett County Schools spokeswoman Patricia Lewis said. Lewis would not comment on the outcome of that investigation. 

Gibson said the teacher then asked the kindergartner, “What happens when you steal?" His son answered, “You go to jail.”

While he is happy to hear about the teacher's resignation, Gibson said Tuesday he remains upset that it took six days before the principal called to tell him about the alleged incident.
