Watching local news at 6pm just now and here was a bit about how disruptive mentally handicapped kids are handled at a norhern NYS grade school for these special kids.

Someone has built wooden boxes that are about 5'5" tal and square by about 3x3 with a door that can lock from the outside or not. When the child (they looked like ages 7ish up to preteens) acts up in the box they go.

I almost lost it! This was on my local news channel out of SYracuse, NY and involved northern NY up near the border. It seems all the bigwigs in the school district knew/knows about this.

surely they will be charged with child abuse. I remember a few years ago year watching a court case where the middle class parents had built a cage in their garage albeit the size of a small room.. for their young adopted teen son where they kept him locked in with just a bed, and a bucket and had installed ameras to wath him at all times ... and the lock to the door was on the outisde.. while the other kids were allowed to freely roam the house..

Timothy and Tracy Ferriter.
In 2022, police in Jupiter, Florida, discovered that the couple had been confining their 14-year-old adopted son to an 8-foot-by-8-foot windowless structure in their garage. The box—which the father had built—was equipped with an exterior deadbolt, an exterior light switch, and a surveillance camera. The teen was confined to the room for up to 18 hours a day, only allowed out to attend school or occasionally eat dinner.
Following their arrest, the legal outcomes were as follows:
  • Timothy Ferriter: Convicted of aggravated child abuse, false imprisonment, and child neglect. He was sentenced to 5 years in prison.
  • Tracy Ferriter: Avoided prison time by accepting a plea deal and pleading guilty to aggravated child abuse, false imprisonment, and child neglect. She received a sentence of 10 years probation and 1 year of house arrest.

same , same !...no idle threat....

I always said if anyone harmed my daughter.. I would happily go to prison for what I did to them, and I would do it..no empty threats.. but I wouldn't kill them, I would maim them , shoot them in the kneecaps... shoot them in the elbows.. shoot them in the shoulders.. so for the rest of their lives they wouldn't be able to walk or lift anything without being in agony !

They used to do that with the kids that had tourettes. I was never put in a box but I was forced to sit in the hall with the door closed and still expected to learn.

What they're doing is child abuse.
