This treatment goes on in The Challenger School for Disabled Children in

, Florida their are also restraints and cement 6 by 6 cells used as time

out rooms.They call it Behavior Management ,I made several complaints and phone

calls several years ago and was told they were retraining the staff. That did

happen but after the air cleared this school went right back to their old

ways.Many parents do not know this goes on. As far as I am concerned these

habits should be outlawed federally and offenders jailed.This school is suppose

to be an upscale school for our kids.Its sick!! Laurie

I know that when I originally asked a few weeks ago about these kindof

injustices towards our children it was hard for many to respond asit brought

back old memories. It was easy for the child that is nolonger here to respond -

he ended his life. This is not something I'want to' post about or wanted to even

look at. After receivingseveral hundred responses from parents about this going

on at theirschools ( I have them and they keep pouring in ), I then

addedMandatory Jail Sentences for those that put our children into thiskind of

Jeopardy into the Autism Reform Act of 2009. I'm sure mostall of you have seen

the CNN reports :http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/12/17/seclusion.rooms/index.htmlMAKE

THIS PUNISHABLE - Prison Sentence Automatic for exposing our kidsto this .. is

within the Autism Reform ACT of

2009.http://www.change.org/ideas/view/accept_and_sign_the_autism_reform_act_of_2\

009I don't even want to begin going into this as it brings back badmemories for

many - but this is TODAY's TRUTH. It was the Truth theday I originally asked

about Illegal Time Out across the Yahoo groups,and it will still be the truth

tomorrow unless we do something aboutthis as a nation. WE CAN. This is America -

we have the ability tovote. As long as we continue to turn our heads at the

'hardquestions' they will revisit us just as this did. To the 100's ofparents

that responded offlist and to the 1000's that did on, Thankyou for being bold

enough to tell me what, when, and where - now maybeCNN can use some of this

information and uncover some of this. Eitherway it will revisit us... So please

vote to END this for once and forAll - NO MORE

DEBATE:http://www.change.org/ideas/view/accept_and_sign_the_autism_reform_act_of\

_2009Now those that questioned my intent know it was not for my selfsatisfaction

or to do a morbid study. It's because I personally haveclosed down dozens of

these rooms in 5 diff. states.. what about theother 45 ? LETS MAKE IT A CRIME to

put these kids in these tortuousrooms. Time Out can be used with a room divider

and a chair. Whatyou see in that CNN Report is exactly what I saw when I shut

themdown, and exactly what I wanted to find out about when I asked aboutthem....

For at least one child it is too late.. it doesn't have to betoo late for the

next one.With all Sincerity, E. , Sr. The Office of Advocacy for

If more then .01 yes thats 1/10th of a percent of the parents of

Children in Special Education for ASD's alone (560,000 of them)

would cast a vote even on this site, it will gain national attention

before the Reform Act - Which Covers ALL Children in Special Ed.,

we could outlaw this with a sign of a big pen in D.C. - it will

happen..I'm asking you to back this for the kids, the request will not

be signed only by me, in the final round (which we are only 17 votes

away from being in) we shall have the next 'Draft' ready for parental

signature - along with that will be the 100's of offlist emails..and

the ones onlist that parents agree to give information about...I hope

all know I was never wanting parents names or names of students as I

am very aware of FERPA and as well would never want to see retaliation

against our kids. We haven't even acted and they have done what we

saw on CNN and what I've seen in person - its not pretty..so I urge

every parent to vote on this and make it the #1 'idea' out of all of

them.. many others including the medicaid waiver funding are also

great ideas. Please vote and have your fiends, family, etc. vote

too...nobody knows who will be next in line for this kind of treatment

- so lets ban it NOW. The transition team is aware of the CNN report

and I've asked them to watch the 300 plus comments on the 'change'

site as well - which they are doing.

We MUST band together in one accord and make this an agreement between

all of us.. We can only make change if we voice ourself in a concise

manner - we are a large Lobby..we have yet to prove that and need to.

Please read this, give input, and vote accordingly if you would like

this to STOP and be punishable by possibly a Felony depending on the

circumstance. With a great feeling of loss I write this..

Humbly,

E. Sr.

Thank you to all that are concerned and a special thanks to the

moderators and Joan - you let me be heard and now we know why. This is

a hard subject and I understand very personally how it can make one

feel.. so please don't disregard this plea for your backing..to back

the kids. With Gratitude,
