DENVER -- The mother of a student, who said he was searched by two lunchroom employees looking for missing money, says they overstepped their bounds.

The alleged incident happened Thursday at Florida Pitt Waller K-8 in Denver.

Two employees, the lunch lady and a female custodian, thought $180 was stolen and suspected two eighth-grade boys took the money, one of the student's mother, Nadia Cleere, tells 7NEWS.

"I am very upset and disappointed with the school and how they handled the situation. To me I am just very disgusted," Cleere said.

One of the employees asked the 13-year-old student if he was wearing shorts under his pants and he said yes, Cleere said.

Cleere's son was asked to take off his shoes, socks and drop his pants in the middle of the lunchroom, she said.

Custodians and teachers saw the search happening and intervened. The money was later found where it was supposed to be.

"I think they really did overstep their boundaries. I think they should have got on the phone and called me and let me know what was going on instead of walking up to my son and making him strip down to his drawers and accusing him of stealing money and telling him afterwards what the situation was about," Cleere said.

Detective John White of the Denver Police Department said officers were called to the school but that the police department will not be involved and no charges will be filed against the employees.

DPS released a statement saying: "Florida Pitt Waller K-8 and Denver Public Schools take any allegation very seriously. The school administration contacted the DPS Safety and Security Department as well as the Denver Police Department to investigate an allegation of employee misconduct. DPS is collaborating with the Denver Police Department as they continue the investigation."
