A teacher at a Los Angeles-area elementary school is accused of using computer cords to restrain students to their chairs at the waist and legs, according to a Local 6 News report.

Police said two boys and a girl at Maxson Elementary School were apparently tied to their chairs for about five minutes with computer cords at the school.

El Monte police said the incident could be considered a misdemeanor or a felony of child abuse or emotional abuse.

The teacher in question, who has not been identified, was placed on administrative leave.

"This is an ongoing investigation at this time we are unable to comment on it we do not want to hamper the investigation," school principal Teresa Marquez said.

Parents said that they knew nothing of the incidents and had not been notified by the school.

"This is weird to me that they will not tell us what is going on it," parent Myra Ortiz said. "(It) is a major thing and something has to be done."

The three students involved are still in school.
