An Occasional Teacher employed with the Thames Valley District School Board has been charged with Failing to Provide the Necessities of Life after an investigation into an incident that occurred at a St. Thomas school in November. There is a duty for those in a position of trust or authority to provide supervision when one person is under the other’s charge and is unable to provide necessaries of life for themselves.
Through investigation, St. Thomas Police learned that a student experiencing a medical episode in their classroom was not provided with the necessaries required to ensure their wellbeing. The student was taken to hospital where they were admitted and treated for a serious medical condition. The student has since been released from hospital.
As a result of the investigation, the 26 year old teacher has been charged and released with a future court date.
