Teachers need actual training for kids with special needs instead of just grabbing them. Total failure of the system.
RIDICULOUS. Schools should be safe places for every single kid not places where they get traumatized by staff.
Stop the abuse. These are children not prisoners.
My son came home with bruises after one of these holds and school just shrugged it off. This has to end now Indiana.
Keep our kids safe. There are better ways to handle behaviors than physical restraint. My heart breaks for these families.
