Imagine finding out on the news, or on social media, that your 3 year old with special needs was abused in school. And no one told you prior to that.

Say hi to Michelle Carpenter.

She was a special needs preschool teacher who is now facing 20 counts of neglecting and abusing her students.

All of her superiors covered up her alleged abuses for years, and they've been given immunity for it. Some of them have even received awards.

And they kept the parents of her child victims in the dark for months, and even years for some. In fact, a few the parents first heard that their children were abused after it was reported on the news.

Carpenter is accused of dragging 3 year olds with special needs around by their wrists, grabbing their faces, calling them names, and other acts of physical abuse and neglect, for years.

And for years, Kingsport TN Schools administrators and superintendents received allegations of her multiple abuses, from multiple eyewitnesses.

And for years, even after being ordered to pass along the information they had to investigators and get out of the way, they continued to stonewall.

And why did they do cover for Carpenter?

Because she was tenured.

Even after they suspended Carpenter in 2022, 3 years after allegations began, they refused to tell parents, or investigators, why she was suspended.

In order to get the school administrators to cooperate, they were all granted criminal immunity from prosecutions for their attempted coverup.

A grand jury had now indicted Carpenter on 20 counts of felony child abuse and neglect.

But not only are the people who covered up her crimes not going to be punished, some of them have even been given awards, and the school itself was named a "Reward School" by the TN Department of Education.

Imagine finding out that 3 year olds with special needs are being physically and verbally abused, covering it up for years, receiving no punishment for it, keeping your job, and getting an award.

Only in government schools can children and parents be so profoundly harmed and disrespected, with no accountability.

Here are the names of the people who received immunity.

Jeff Moorehouse - District Superintendent

Stacy Edwards - Principal; Awarded "Principal of the Year"

Jennifer Guthrie - Head of HR
