Massachusetts Court Rules Electro Shock Punishment Allowable for Special Needs Students
Note: WHERE is the outcry from average Americans, from media outlets, from celebrities, from politicians?? Immigrant children legal and otherwise separated from their parents? The nation went mad. But not for kids whose behaviors have been catapulted to DefCon 1000 and then they were separated from their parents as Lord knows what vaccine, environmental, physical and emotional destruction landed them in the HELL HOLE known as the Rotenberg Center in Canton Massachusetts. My Dad played golf with Judge Ernie Rotenberg in the 60s and 70s. Dad used to say Ernie CHEATED just like Judge Smails in Caddyshack! And now, the "school" with his name on it is a disgrace to my home state. Massachusetts - the liberal, love everyone, education is everything, seat of American LIBERTY -- allows torture and abuse in the name of "education." Parents SEND THEIR kids there! Imagine the depths of despair you must reach to say, "THIS place is the only choice we have." I feel for every family whose child ends up in this gulag. 'Level III aversive treatment." What a crock of sh*t. This is the United States' listing in under the UN 9. Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment
(1) That the United States considers itself bound by the obligation under article 16 to prevent `cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment', only insofar as the term `cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment' means the cruel, unusual and inhumane treatment or punishment prohibited by the Fifth, Eighth, and/or Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.
Bristol County, MA – Family Court Judge Katherine Field denied a motion to stop the use of electric shock on disabled students, a form of punishment that has been controversial for years after news of the practice first reached the public in 2013 when video surfaced of an 18-year-old student receiving dozens of shocks for refusing to take off his jacket.
“(The state) failed to demonstrate that there is now a professional consensus that the Level III aversive treatment used at JRC does not conform to the accepted standard of care for treating individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities,” Judge Field wrote in her decision.

It is OK to abuse and torture people with ID. Got that, friends? My God.....

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!

Yes I listened to that also.
The stupidity extends far beyond that though.
How did we ever get into a situation like this in the first place, why did people\parents ever trust this fraud in the very first place. The parents (all of us) let these criminals in.

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."

John you need to have a think about this carefully because asking for justice and end of this holocaust is definitely going to harm people. Some families will never recover from the truth of this coming out like the very fine Murdoch family for example.
And the truth of this story means certain peoples futures are going to be very uncertain like
the Offit-Gerberding-Boyle axis and Paul knows this very well (look at his more recent language).
This is why they are fighting so hard to safe their necks because they know the true scale of this global vaccine program. 1939-45 looks like a picnic compared to this one.

Great comment .....
My comment was much stronger and was correctly censored.
It involved Offit & Gerberding & Boyle and the penalties they SHOULD face for this .

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."
https://www.romper.com/p/the-fda-wont-ban-electric-shock-on-adults-kids-with-disabilities-these-activists-are-determined-to-change-that-8586451
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.

Monsters the lot of them treating disabled kids like this Frankenstein vaccines and a Frankenstein pseudo solution for when it goes wrong.
I remember my wife's friends son putting his hand onto the red hot burning ring of the cooker hob and he burnt all the skin from his hand and he never felt a thing, never blinked.It was just the smell of the burning flesh that got the mother to look.
How do they know how it affects the kid they are administering the shock to-they don`t monsters.

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!
Posted by: annie | July 25, 2018 at 02:36 PM
Let me start by saying that I do not think electroshock is a good or humane treatment. It seems that is has been abused at this program. But I do not think it should be shut down. It is similar to me to 'institutions". Let the people there live out their life there if that is what their families want. The alternatives for people with disabilities and severe behavior problems are nonexistent. These folks would end up in hospitals waiting for psychiatric beds or drugged excessively to keep them in line. We have to respect parents wishes. Of course, we should be fighting for more appropriate treatment and funding for such as well.

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.

Thanks, Tracey, for noticing it and naming it, although I hope that on here you're preaching to the converted. We autistic people are abused every day of our lives by people from all walks of life, whether by electric shocks, financial penalties, incarceration etc. etc. We put up with it as long as we can, but some can't take any more of it, and then we complain, which makes it worse. No-one, but no-one can tell us why they do these things to us, but I can only think it's because they know they can get away with it, and that if we complain everyone will take their side. This ongoing story proves this theory true.

Guantanamo for autism. There is very dark question why this horror is allowed to bleed on decade after decade.
Posted by: John Stone | July 25, 2018 at 10:55 AM
This makes me so angry. I just took a road trip with my 14yr old grandson with autism and his 6yr old cousin. I had no issues on the 2000 miles we went but I did watch the 6 yr antagonize him the whole time, he never once caught on but this “ Nana” did and I quickly shut it down...
Do parents even know this is happening ? I would be sick if this happened to my grandson . I know he can snap but watching him on our road trip it would take a lot for him to blow up...
Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention and let’s hope we can quickly shut it down....

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.
Posted by: Darie | July 25, 2018 at 10:23 AM
Instead of trying to care for people with ID, and instead of trying to get to the bottom of what is causing the behavior, just shock them into submission. This is an obvious sign of viewing our loved ones as less than human. I consider those who can do this s less than human.

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?"
