Re: Please let me know if your District uses Time out rooms or Illegal restraint (if it's not in a BIP it's not legal) or abuse of children with ASD's

[Guest guest]

My family lives in Ballwin, Missouri and goes to Rockwood School

District. My son went to school in the morning, and when I picked

him up from daycare, I thought he had marker or something all over

his face. When I got him home, I found out it was bruises that

covered about half of his face. The bruising was so extensive that

it took two weeks to resolve. My son said that he was hurt at

elementary school that day by another kid, and his twin brother

reiterated the story.

The assistant principle said she didn't know anything about it, and I

had to ask the teacher or someone in the classroom. The aide didn't

have time to talk to me about it, and the nurse told me that he

deserved it for not playing nicely with the other kids.

To my knowledge, my son has never hit another kid at elementary

school. At his IEP meeting, I've been told that he doesn't interact

with the other children. So, if he has never interacted with them, I

don't see how he " deserves " to be beat up.
