"US opens Canton school inquiry; Shock discipline at Rotenberg center prompts concern" by Patricia Wen, Globe Staff | February 25, 2010
The US Department of Justice has opened an investigation into whether a special needs school in Canton violates federal disability laws by disciplining students with electrical skin shocks.
Oh, they so they get tortured, too?
What a sick state -- from the top down.
It is the first federal probe of the highly scrutinized Judge Rotenberg Educational Center and follows demands from more than 30 disability rights groups from across the country.
In a September 2009 letter, the groups said the facility’s use of “painful and dehumanizing behavioral techniques violates all principles of human rights.’’ They seek to end the school’s use of shock therapy, something that several state inquiries have so far failed to do.
And here the U.S. goes around the world wagging a finger and lecturing others about human rights (and that's not mentioning the mass-murdering wars that have killed millions).
I know a few institutions and people that need some shock therapy, don't you?
For nearly four decades, the school has generated controversy for its unorthodox methods, administered to roughly half of the 200 students. Many of them have autism, developmental disabilities, or emotional troubles, and some have criminal records or are at risk of hurting themselves.
ZZZZZZZZZZTTT!
Not now.
Those students wear electrodes attached to their skin, and staff members can remotely trigger a two-second electrical shock through a hand-held device.
Now DANCE, retard!
Many parents who have children at the Rotenberg center have supported the school, saying it accepted their children when other institutions turned them away or that the shocks are a better alternative to heavy sedation administered at some facilities....
Oh, then I will stop complaining.
Why don't you take a jolt while you are visiting next time and see how you like it.
What, no drugs to prescribe them or are they already full up?
