What’s worse is these parents would come down to the school - they have all the rights - and demand their child isn’t “drugged” while school - these “drugs,” mostly anti-psychotics, are the ones that allow the child to focus and keep control of himself so he is not a danger to himself or others - and are absolutely necessary in these instances. The school is then forced to keep these kid unmedicated - making them extremely dangerous. And yes, some of them should be locked up - and were in past generations.
Turns out the parents want the drugs for afterschool, weekends and school breaks - when they’d double or even triple dose the kids. Kids were met at the door at home with the meds and that is how the parents were able to cope with them.
My friend eventually got out, he was getting older and was afraid of being seriously hurt.
I ended up working next to an SED school for several years. I have never in my life seen such vicious fights, which happened almost every single day - it often took three or four adults on each student to break up these fights.
Later, it had gotten so difficult that it looked like a condition of attendance was taking whatever drug was needed - the kids had a zombie-like stare all day and walked slowly and flat-footed around their campus, not normal at all, but it was probably the only way they could attend school. I never saw any fights after that.

I BELIEVE YOU.
I have read a lot of horror stories about these special needs kids and what they do in the class room. Then I read about their parents. From the teachers’ attitude the parents are far worse and teachers can’t stand them.
I think a lot here are really missing the point on what I am trying to say and that is that kid should never have been in public school to start with.
I also believe if this kid is what it takes to remove others like him from the public schools then we should go with it. I know this is not going to sit will with those parents but I don’t give a damn. Let’s you and I be honest okay? The only reason they have the kids in the school is free baby sitting. Plus they can leave the kids there in some states until the kid is up to age 21 or 22 by law. Then they say “oh he likes going to school” I’m like “he does not know what planet he’s on Lady”.
This child is not the only violent special needs child I’ve read about getting arrested and then finally booted from the school. I’ve read where some were violent over and over and over. Teachers complained, nothing was done then finally it would reach a head and the brat was arrested so it makes the news. It’s not just autistics it’s also Down syndrome kids as well.

See like I said...the school is just free baby sitting, sometimes up to age 22. Then what?
You know what? They complained that Willowbrook became a snake pit, which is why it closed even though toward the end in the 1980’s it improved. Now the public schools has become the snake pit what Willowbrook once was.
