WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, OHIO– [Excerpt provided by Inclusion Daily] When a 14-year-old special needs student in Ohio told her father she was being bullied at school, he figured it was something that many teenagers endure. 

Then he realized it was his daughter's teachers doing the bullying. 

After being told repeatedly by school administrators that his daughter was lying about being harassed and bullied, he outfitted her with a hidden tape recorder under her clothes. For the next four days, she recorded a series of abusive and cutting remarks from a teacher and a teacher's aide at Miami Trace Middle School in Washington Courthouse, Ohio.

The father, Brian, and his daughter, Cheyanne (their last names were withheld in the interview), appeared on TODAY with their attorneys Tuesday as snippets from the secret audio tapes were played.
