ORLANDO, Fla. - The father of a special needs child with Down syndrome is speaking out, still fuming that his 7-year-old daughter came home from Ocean Breeze Elementary School with a mask tied around her head.
"I was so angry so I waited four days from Thursday 7th to Tuesday after Columbus Day because I really need to calm down," said Jeff Steel. "When this child got off the bus and had the mask it was tied around the back of her head underneath her ponytail and it was quite tight around her face."
He said it was so tight, his daughter Sophia struggled to communicate and breathe.
"Medically, she could aspirate. She could asphyxiate all sorts of medical things that could happen and because of her breathing because of her enlarged tongue could cause seizures," Steele said.
The father said he always assumed Sophia was exempt from the mask mandate because of her disability. He's furious no one from the school ever called him.
"Why in the world, since the mandate happened back in September and you were going to begin to put this on my child then tie it on my child, would you never pick up the phone and call me and ask me to give me my informed consent?" Steele asked.
State Representative Randy Fine, R-Palm Bay, weighed in on this mask situation earlier this week at a news conference with Governor Ron DeSantis.
"There’s a special place in hell for people who did this to that man’s daughter," Rep. Fine said.
Fine blamed school board members who voted for mandatory masks, namely Jennifer Jenkins.

The slobs on the left are using the mask mandate to beat us into submission. It’s not about health. Never was.
Whoever did this should have his lights punched out.
I thought there were no mandates in Florida.
“..Whoever did this should have his lights punched out....”
Yep. It’d be a good start in the right direction.
libtard schools or counties are overriding. Jerry Demings, big fat leftist loser (and married to that hideous val demings) is the ‘mayor’ of Orange County FLA and has had a bug up his butt for DeSantis from the get go. He’s defying him whereever he can.
Tied every day for weeks. Someone sent her home with the string still attached.
Yeah. And if it happens again they need to disappear.
Fool me once...
BTW, all that book of Revelation stuff suddenly doesn’t seem so extreme; more and more it seems to be just about exactly what this jacked-up shitshow has coming.
Popcorn on the shopping list.
And a gas generator to run my popper.
It’s gonna get REAL eventually.
Adults sloughing off their responsibility onto kids
If an adult is not vaccinated or doesn’t have acquired immunity, they need to get away from the children and the immunocompromised and stay away until the pandemic is over. Stop forcing kids and elderly to shoulder the responsibility of the ‘herd’ that is supposed to be protecting them. If you’re vaccinated/acquired you have no fears. It’s that simple. No taping of masks required.
Don’t speak out, don’t get angry. Just beat the living feces out of the culprits. Kill their pets in front of their kids.
