KID GETS STUFFED IN A BAG

KID GETS STUFFED IN A BAG

(Updated and corrected version below)

In Mercer County, Kentucky, nine year old Chris Baker, an Autistic student, was told by his special education aide to climb inside a bag intended for therapeutic purposes as a punishment to "control his autistic behavior" on 14 December 2011. He was placed in the bag with the drawstring tightened and left in the hallway in the school. When his mother, Sandra Baker, was called to the school to get her son, she demanded that he be removed from the bag right away. The teacher struggled to undo the drawstring, and Chris emerged sweaty and non-communicative. According to the teacher, this had been done several times over the last year, but Sandra didn't know until this latest incident. While she met with state officials on Monday 19 December 2011 before a possible meeting with school officials, there is no guarantee that those meetings will prevent this kind of abuse from happening again -- either to Chris or to other students.

LOL WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Ugh...I don't understand people sometimes

I'd really like to know why some asshole launched us back to the Dark Ages. Maybe dunking will cure the insane while we're at it. Seriously, an autistic boy. He ( Aide? Really?! ) ought to be taken out back and flayed by a cat-o-nines until the streets run red. And you better BELIEVE I'd be cracking that whip if it were my son.

Oh that's so sad, My small boy is Autistic and its my worst fear for him, when i'm not there to protect him that those who are supposed to be "caring" for him will treat him so badly. His physcologist asked me once what I would like most for him (apart from him no longer having disabilities) and I told her I want him to be able to tell someone to treetrunk off, she didn't seem to get it 😢
