Teens subjected to shock therapy
A prank call to a residential, special needs school in MA, asking the school to give two teens electro-therapy, resulted in the teens being shocked with no valid order to do so.
It’s hard to believe that ANY child would be subjected to this, let alone a special needs child. This country is so messed up. We let Pedophiles out of jail after serving only a few months, yet allow a school to electrocute Autistic kids at the drop of a prank call.
BOSTON — State officials are investigating complaints that staff at a special needs residential school gave at least two teenagers unnecessary electric shock treatments after receiving a prank phone call from someone pretending to be from the office of the school’s founder.
Initial investigations showed that a former student at the Judge Rotenberg Education Center allegedly called in orders for electric shock treatments on Aug. 26 and officials at the school self-reported the prank call and unnecessary treatments the day after they occurred, Cindy Campbell, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Early Education and Care, said Monday.
