MONCTON, NB -  Authorities from the Anglophone East School District and the Codiac RCMP confirm they are looking into complaints involving an alleged incident at a Moncton middle school.

The parents of two Lewisville Middle School girls took to a social media site this week with allegations that a teacher bound their daughters hands together with a strong adhesive tape.

The action was allegedly taken because the girls weren’t getting along.

The parents say they learned of the incident when their daughters came home with rashes and bruises on their wrists.

Both school and police are investigating the matter, but won’t comment directly on it.
