District Says It Removed Teacher Caught Mocking Autistic Boy - But 2nd Recording Suggests Otherwise

A New Jersey school district has responded to one father's public campaign after he posted audio he says captured school staff being verbally abusive to his autistic son.

Stuart Chaifetz sent his 10-year-old son Akian to school wearing a hidden recorder after he started getting reports that Akian was acting out violently in class. The resulting audio, he says, revealed his son's teachers gossiping, calling Akian a "bastard" and teasing and violently yelling at students.

Chaifetz posted the material to YouTube, where it has since surpassed three million views. A statement from Cherry Hill Public Schools said it "acted swiftly" once it received the original recording from Chaifetz in February and that the people heard speaking inappropriately are no longer employed by the district.

"I want to assure our parents that the individuals who are heard on the recording raising their voices and inappropriately addressing children no longer work in the district and have not since shortly after we received the copy of the recording," the statement from Superintendent Dr. Maureen Reusche reads.

But in a second video -- posted Tuesday after the district released its statement -- Chaifetz alleged the teacher, Kelly Altenburg, had merely been moved to a different school. To prove it, he recorded himself dialing a phone number to Cherry Hill High School West and then an extension leading to the voicemail greeting of his son's former teacher.

“I am releasing this now because I have to justify the purpose of this campaign and to show I wasn’t wrong," Chaifetz said. "All I'm seeking is justice from my son and to protect future children because this teacher does not deserve to ever teach a child again."

The school district has not yet responded to Chaifetz's latest claims.
