FAYETTEVILLE (WTVD) -- There are new developments in the case of a teacher rant that a mother captured in a Cumberland County classroom that we first told you about last month.

We now have confirmation that an investigation is underway. It should be completed no later than June 12.

Back in May, Leona Cain sent her son to school at Alderman Road Elementary with a secret recording device after noticing a change in her son's behavior and learning of a recent fight in his classroom.

The recording lasts nearly four hours and includes several instances of the teacher yelling at students and using threats.

Here's a portion of what was captured.

Teacher: "I don't even like somebody to be behind me when I'm on the board, because I might get mad and pop the mess out of you and then it would be my fault!"

The recording lasted four hours and, at times, you can hear the teacher yelling at students and using threats in some instances.

Cain pulled her son out of the school after hearing the recording.
