My school bus aide was striking me many times. I was hurt and scared.
Teacher yelled, 'If I come back there, you're gonna get it'
Cameras In Special Needs Classrooms shared
Lori Lamb, mother of her 10-year-old son Jeffery, talks with us at Cameras In Special Needs Classrooms. She shares with us that her son with Autism wears a harness on the bus. One day she got a phone call from another parent that her son w...as hit by the bus aide. Lori reported it. Video was captured and she could not believe her eyes. It was hard for her to watch. Lori says, "This is disgusting, it's disgusting," Lamb said. "You could see him in a full swing, a full swat. It's not once, it's not twice, and he smacked him more than several times. I just don't know how a man could haul off and smack an autistic boy," Lamb said. "He's a big man, he's not some 98 pound weakling, and he's 57 years old. Shame on him." Lori wants changes and justice for her son. Like& Share if you believe this man should be in jail and never to work around children again.

TAKE ACTION:
Posted on
The Arc urges all advocates to participate in the June 12 national call in day to support the Keeping All Students Safe Act, the restraint and seclusion bills (S. 2036 and HR 1893) introduced by Senator Harkin (D-IA) and Representative Miller (D-CA), respectively. Restraint and seclusion have resulted in numerous serious injuries and fatalities and are disproportionately used on students with disabilities. The day is being planned in collaboration with the national Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD), the Alliance to Prevent Restraint, Aversive Interventions and Seclusion (APRAIS), and other coalitions. Congress must hear from parents, people with disabilities, students, advocates, professionals, friends, families, and neighbors regarding this important legislation!

SAN ANTONIO – A local grandmother has been fighting to get cameras in special needs classrooms for more than a year.
When News 4 San Antonio first spoke with Columba Wilson she told us when her special needs grandson was in kindergarten, he was always getting hurt and the school never knew why.
Wilson made trips to Austin on several occassions to talk to lawmakers in support of SB 1380 requiring cameras in the classrooms. The bill never passed, but Wilson and other advocates are determined to keep fighting.
Child advocates have organized Thursday June 12 as a national call-in day, so advocates all over the country can call their legislators and talk about keeping students safe in schools.
Attorney Karen Seal who represents families of special needs students says the cameras protect both the child and the teacher.
"We've had to many incidents of children being injured,” said Seal.

WHY AM I DOING THIS? It's for the safety of the children who can't go home and tell their parents how their day was. It's for the teachers who are accused of assault and never happen. It would be good for both students and teachers. Say a child was hitting himself and bruising himself then blaming teacher. Or what if a child was hit, grabbed and screamed at for crying by an aide or teacher. But th...e child could not go home and say what happen. U have to have a lot of patience working in this field. Invasion of privacy??? So, it should be private when a teacher's aide hits a child?? or when child hits teacher?? no- this should happen for the safety of both teacher and little to non verbal children. Presidents and leaders from all over the World, WE NEED CAMERAS IN SPECIAL NEEDS ROOMS FOR SAFETY AND PROTECTION.
