Teacher in sticky spot

A Romanian nursery school teacher is in trouble after covering kids' mouths with sticky tape to make them stop talking.

Teacher Cristiana Buruiana, who works at Kindergarten No. 4 in Bucharest, may lose her job after an internal investigation is finished.

After being caught on film with a hidden camera, she admitted using this method on children who were disturbing lessons.

She said: "Those kids just wouldn't stop talking so I had to do something to save the class.

"I understand now it might look a little too tough and I am sorry for what I did."

Kindergarten head Adriana Stefanescu accused the teacher of 'mental mutilation' of the pupils and recommended her for suspension.
