ACTION ALERT!!!

19 STATES HAVE ZERO REGULATIONS PROTECTING OUR DISABLED CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS!!!

STATES THAT DO HAVE REGULATIONS OR GUIDELINES ARE NOT BEING FOLLOWED BY MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

Our federal lawmakers say they have not heard from us on harmful restraint and seclusion!!

According to a May 2009 government report on restraint and seclusion practices, an overwhelming amount of abuse, neglect, and emotional abuse is happening in schools throughout the country.

THE REPORT FOUND NO FEDERAL LAWS IN PLACE THAT REGULATE RESTRAINT & SECLUSION

THE REPORT REVEALED THAT STATE REGULATIONS ARE “WIDELY DIVERGENT†AND THAT 19 STATES HAVE NOTHING THAT REGULATE RESTRAINT & SECLUSION IN SCHOOLS

THE REPORT REVEALED TEN CASE STUDIES WHERE CHILDREN WITH VARYING DISABILITIES DIED AS A RESULT OF RESTRAINT AND SECLUSION, WERE SERIOUSLY HARMED, OR EMOTIONALLY TRAUMATIZED

BECAUSE THERE ARE NO LAWS, MANY OF THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ABUSE STILL WORK WITHIN THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS

TAKE THESE TWO STEPS IMMEDIATELY TO RAISE YOUR VOICE AND HELP OUR CHILDREN'S SAFETY BECOME A GOVERNMENT PRIORITY!

STEP 1

SEND A LETTER TO FEDERAL LAWMAKERS & CALL: every member on the Education and Labor Committee needs to hear from us IMMEDIATELY.

CLICK HERE for a sample letter and list of committee members. We need to show them how big our voices are!

STEP 2

SEND A LETTER TO STATE LAWMAKERS & CALL: if you are in the following states, you have NO state regulations: Wisconsin, Wyoming, Vermont, South Carolina, South Dakota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, New Jersey, Nebraska, Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Indiana, Idaho, Florida, Georgia, Arizona.

CLICK HERE for a sample letter and a link to find your state reps. For people in the other states, most of your laws aren't being consistently followed.

PLEASE SEND LETTERS TO BOTH COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND STATE LAWMAKERS AND ALSO SEND A COPY TO KUTZG@.... IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THEY HEAR US ON THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!

Does anyone know what Ohio's state regs are regarding seclusion and restraint in public schools? We were told by legal counsel only 2 years ago that there were none specifically for schools in Ohio. Has that changed? A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

The latest thing I could find was this where some workgroup was going to submit

recommendations to the governor who would issue an Executive Order:

No idea whether this applies to public schools also or only state agencies like

ODJFS?
