Officials within the Jackson County Central School District in Minnesota are investigating a video which allegedly shows a student being locked in a closet by a teacher.
The 55-second video posted to Reddit shows the moments in which other students attempt to let the child free as they cry out while the teacher tells them to stop.
At one point, a young child can be seen walking up to the doors of the closet and knocking to check on the student.
An off-camera person, purportedly the teacher, can be heard responding: 'No, no, no, no, no; uh huh.'
The incident reportedly happened in September at the Jackson County Central Middle School, according to the Jackson County Pilot.
