BLUE VALLEY, Mo. — The mother of a kindergartner with special needs has a message for the school that fired her son's teacher: "Bring Mrs. Hart back."

Barb Hart, a Kindergarten teacher for the Blue Valley School District, was fired earlier this month after the school board said she violated a policy on Emergency Safety Intervention. The community – and the mother of the student involved in the incident – have expressed their support for Hart in the aftermath of her controversial firing.

"I just want to do something," the child's mother told FOX4 in an interview. "I feel so sorry for the incident that happened to her. I can't imagine how she handles everything, how her family went through all the difficult situations.

"I just want the best for her."
