Link on restraint and seclusion on our population

[Guest guest]

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A new government report (<link)  The GAO's report on restraint and seclusion found hundred's of allegations of abuse on mostly children with disabilities. 

 

An excerpt:

 

" Continued Employment in Education: Although we did not evaluate specific state licensing requirements, we did observe that in at least 5 of our cases, the teachers or other staff involved in the injurious restraint or seclusion of children continued to work with students or had licenses to do so. For example, a 230 pound teacher in Texas who fatally restrained a 129 pound teenage boy facedown on a mat currently works as a public high school teacher in Virginia. "
