I am just fucking infuriated. Autistic or not, a TEN YEAR OLD being ARRESTED and charged with a fucking FELONY??? For physically resisting his teacher grabbing him to move him??
A TEACHER THAT THE CHILD SAID HAD BEEN ABUSING HIM on top of that!!
They issued a fucking warrant FOR A TEN YEAR OLD. This fucking adult, this supposed child professional, PRESSED CHARGES AGAINST A TEN YEAR OLD for physically resisting him. That’s fucking SCARY to come from someone in charge of children, especially disabled children, especially on top of the boy’s allegations that this man has been hurting him.
I am just… students, especially disabled students, we are attacked and it goes unnoticed, it goes ignored, it keeps happening and hardly any outrage comes of it. Children are being zip-tied, stuffed into fucking bags, beaten… why the fuck is this all okay to do?? Why the fuck isn’t something being done about this??
And charging kids who aren’t even preteens with felonies. Putting them in prisons. Putting out warrants for their arrests. PRESSING CHARGES against CHILDREN… I can’t word my fury and how this is acceptable.
get cops the fuck out of schools.
Get teachers like THESE out of schools, are you kidding? The cop wouldn’t even be involved in this moron weren’t such a shitty teacher!
The kid probably has an IEP that specifically says that he shouldn’t be touched, especially as a way to manage his behavior. And if he doesn’t, his parent(s)/guardian(s) should have a meeting with the school to add/create one! Plus everyone should know people with autism don’t like being touched.
Actually, teachers should never touch kids to manage their behavior, autistic or not! If you can’t manage a child’s behavior (above a certain age of course) without physically touching them, you’ve failed as a teacher.
