Eadie, who was in prep this year at Torbanlea State School, located three-and-a-half hours north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, exhibited a behavioral change that caught Demi's attention. The five-year-old's reluctance to attend school and emotional withdrawal became apparent, especially after coming home distressed, shaking, and crying about an incident at school.

Eadie's older sister also attended the same school, the only one in the small town of around 800 people. Demi expressed her concerns: "It's a fight to get [Eadie] to school. She just doesn't want to go. Emotionally withdrawn. Doesn't want to talk about anything."

Guided by her motherly instincts, Demi discerned that something troubling was transpiring, causing her typically happy daughter to lose her smile. Concerned that Eadie might be a target of schoolyard bullying, Demi took various proactive measures to address the situation.

Despite emailing the school, requesting a meeting, and scheduling pediatrician appointments in search of answers, Demi felt unheard. Frustrated and sensing something was wrong, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

Demi expressed her frustration with the school's response to her concerns.

Feeling it was the end of the line and desperate for clarity, Demi purchased a mini recording device online for $40. She secretly incorporated it into a Christmas scrunchie that she sewed herself. Demi then placed the scrunchie, with the hidden recording device, in Eadie's hair.

Without Eadie's knowledge, Demi captured hours of recordings from the school day. Upon reviewing the tapes, she was shocked to hear the female teacher's dissatisfaction with Eadie's behavior, saying, "Unfortunately, Eadie, you lie all the time through your face. Lies, kicking, disrespect, defiance, and harassment."

The teacher continued to address another student, asking about the consequences of kicking someone out on the street. The student responded, "Um, you get arrested." The teacher then questioned Eadie, asking if she wanted to spend her time at the age of 10 kicking people and facing legal consequences.

She concluded by urging Eadie to apologize and seriously consider the repercussions of her actions, particularly in kicking another child without reason. When asked about her knowledge of the kicking incident, Demi shared her efforts to seek information from the school.

She expressed disappointment, stating, "So I asked [the school] about it. No one phoned me that day if that's the incident that occurred." What distressed Demi the most was the teacher's comment, "You lie from your face," which she considered verbal abuse, emphasizing that Eadie is only five years old.

In the recorded conversation, the teacher's frustration is palpable as she raises her voice. Another prep student, concerned, asks, "Miss ... are you feeling okay?" The teacher responds, "No. It's really frustrating when I come back from not even a lunch break, which I still have 10 minutes on my break to eat my food, to find out that you're kicking people."

Demi expressed her dismay at the teacher's tone and language directed at Eadie, especially in the presence of her friends and the entire class. She highlighted the negative impact on Eadie's social interactions, stating, "Who wants to be friends with the kid that's always in trouble with a teacher?"

Demi emphasized the association that other kids make between Eadie and the teacher's yelling and trouble, creating a challenging environment for her daughter. When Eadie was asked how she felt about everything, she replied, "Sad... because [my teacher] yells at me."

In another segment of the recording, the teacher criticized Eadie for taking two days off school, stating, "It's because if you have days off, you don't do this craft. If you haven't done it, it's at the point where I can't catch you up anymore. If you haven't done them, it's because you're not here." However, Demi clarified that Eadie took the days off because her grandma died, a fact the teacher was aware of.

Demi expressed her frustration with the school's response to her concerns, claiming that Torbanlea State School refused to let her speak to the teacher. When a local media outlet contacted the school, Demi was visited by the police inquiring about the story.

In response to the situation, the Australian mom decided to withdraw both Eadie and her eldest daughter from the school, advocating for the removal of the teacher.

Demi's stance aligns with her desire for accountability and fair treatment. Cresta Richardson, president of the Queensland Teachers Union, acknowledged the challenges in the education system, stating, "In a school, if I had an incident or whatever, I would really hope that we could work through that as the teacher and the parent."

Eadie's story received considerable support from the online community, with many netizens calling for strict action against the responsible teacher. One person said, "Well done to the mum by getting creative and exposing this [so-called] teacher...that poor little girl being subjected to that at school."

A second user wrote, "After watching this on a current affair this teacher should be removed from her position and no longer teaching. Children are our future, teach them and look after them [sic]."

Yet another person commented, "Absolutely disgusting [behavior] by that teacher. It was very hard to listen to. Very sad for that beautiful little girl."
