Laura-thanks for letting us know that an appeal against Field's decision has just been filed. The Rottenberg school should be shut down for the abominable practice of giving electric shock treatments to disabled people as punishment. The school sounds more like a concentration camp for disabled people and how this barbaric practice can be allowed to continue is an inhumane tragedy. What is wrong with the thinking processes of the parents who put their children there and allow them to be treated this way? People complain of animal abuse, but what about the outrageous abuse of the disabled that is allowed to continue at this ROTTEN school. I would call upon the governor of Massachusetts and their state leaders to shut this horrid place down NOW!

In the real world we have justice and penal systems and we should we see justice handed out even-handedly. I do not think for example that it should be a foregone conclusion that corporate executives who take harmful decisions should somehow be exempted from responsibility by virtue of the fact that it is the corporation which acts. However, what we most need is an end to the barbarous system even if people don't get their just deserts. I was watching that video in Highwire yesterday in which the ACIP voted for a known to be lethal Hep B vaccine and what was striking was the atmosphere of sheer comic stupidity, though also you felt that those people were not the people who were really in charge.

Yes, it is policy here that we don't wish harm on people.

I want to note the link embedded in the this paragraph at the end with more history and information:

"The things that have taken place at JRC have prompted calls for the FDA to ban the use of electric shock as a punishment for students, but the FDA has ignored the issue and even had protesters arrested for attempting to raise awareness about the issue outside of their headquarters."

It sounds to me like they euphemistically represent the risks and suffering of this "therapy" and deny and lie about this as much as they do to "save lives" with vaccination, and then apply said "therapy" with as much "judgement" and "discretion" we see in applying the liability free infant vaccine schedule. I think a parallel circumstance occurs with drugs for mentally disabling issues, too.

Massachusetts. Home of Harvard and MIT. And one of the most barbaric places on earth and in the history of mankind.

Just as there is no valid scientific evidence that vaccines do not cause autism, there is no valid scientific evidence that electric shock is thearuputic. It is nothing short of torture and this is appalling!

Heard of this a Long time again, when therapies for the vaccine injured ASD were still being discussed. This was then touted as a therapy, not used for punishment, but therapy, the same as insane asylums used them. Most parents and care givers of kids with regressive Autism, online, were horrified. But we'd also heard of places that used cattle prod type electric shocks to correct behaviors, probably qualified as punishment. I wonder if any of the institutes for care of the ASD child use chemical shock treatments..? Are these less cruel than electric shock..? Back then, suits were also filed but over ridden, keephouse was allowed to continue. Some parents statements were posted who were in favor of electric shock Therapy claiming it did their child 'good'. Children placed in this kind of institute may have been so 'bad off' they had no other place to take them for care or safe keeping. While on the face of a flat statement, it's barbaric, but if they are hopelessly violent, people,who don't know Autism, may think this is appropriate. I think, surely there's drugs to use to quiet them...and we Know there are and some 'schools' use them as a matter of course. I want to know what makes that institute or any judge think a particular child is in need of electric shock and why. Details lacking that would even make anyone begin to think about a case. The average person from every area of life does Not know anything about ASD. And that's why they ignore that it's a Pandemic ...statistic today.

Guantanamo for autism. There is very dark question why this horror is allowed to bleed on decade after decade.

I am continually stunned this school is allowed to continue especially in Mass. which is a state that has some of the most restrictive restraint policies in place in schools. So the message from MA. is....restraint is bad but electric shock is just fine? Absolutely disgusting.

If this treatment is not good enough for

prisoners
corrupt elected officials
corrupt government regulators
corrupt Pharma, Chem, and Ag CEOs
doctors and nurses still vaccinating
unethical lobbyists (redundant, I know)
wife beaters
child molestors
rapists
idiot judges

then it’s not good enough for the disabled, most of whom today are iatrogenically so.

The world has indeed gone mad. When the children don't matter, civilization has ceased to exist, as the empire crumbles to dust before our very eyes. "Accepted standard of care???" What about right and wrong? Where the hell did this utterly incompetent judge come from? What the hell does she know about "care?"
