ZACHARY, La. (WAFB/Gray News) – The mom of a 6-year-old girl in Louisiana said her daughter was forced to clean up her own feces after she had an accident at school that was caused by her dairy allergy.

Jamisha Augustine said her daughter has a dairy allergy, but despite this, she drank milk for breakfast at Rollins Place Elementary School and became sick almost immediately.

Augustine remembers filling out forms and sending doctors’ notes with her enrollment paperwork about her daughter’s dairy allergy at the beginning of the year.

The mom said after drinking the milk, her daughter used the bathroom multiple times, but eventually, her teacher stopped letting her go.

“She asked her teacher to go to the restroom, but she said no because she went too many times,” Augustine said.

The 6-year-old ended up defecating on herself and then was forced to clean up the mess.

“So, upon her going to the office after having an accident, the principal told her she was too big to be having accidents on herself,” Augustine said.

The principal told Augustine that the child needed a form of discipline for the accident.

“I said, what was the point of making her clean that up? Do y’all have janitors? She said they do have janitors, but she needed a form of discipline,” Augustine said. “I’m saying, how can you punish her for having an accident?”
