This is NOT electrostatic or electroconvulsive therapy used for some mental disabilities such as depression or bipolar disorder. This is electric SHOCK used as a punishment.

Andre was asked to take off his jacket. When he refused, staff electric shocked him and he tried to hide under a table. They dragged him out and tied him facedown to a restraint board where he was kept for seven hours without a break, and shocked a total of thirty-one times. In court, it was admitted that all but one of those electric shocks were for tensing up or screaming.

There are good teachers out there that should spend more time marching against bad teachers instead of those that would like to rein in bad teachers. Is the only advocates for the children hidden microphones and video cameras?

Julio Artuz, 15-Year-Old Special Needs Student, Records Teacher Verbally Abusing Him

No one believed 15-year-old Julio Artuz when he said he was being bullied by a teacher at school — not even his parents.

So the special needs student sought proof, by filming an encounter with said teacher at Bankbridge Regional School in New Jersey, NBC10 reports.

“Don’t call me special,” Artuz told the teacher.

“What? Oh my god, f-ing. What does the sign on the front of the school say? Special education,” the teacher yelled back.

Artuz defended himself by saying that when he got out of the school, the teacher couldn’t call him special anymore. In response, the teacher made a threat.

“…I will kick your a– from here to kingdom-come until I’m 80 years old.”

In a statement to NBC10, the school district said officials take allegations of harassment seriously and are carrying out an investigation.
