Surprised over the lack of publicity ,,,,by the Media on a whole
The coach's son on my 7 year old's soccer team is severely autistic. He does not participate like he should at practice or in games, but everyone understands and talks to him when he sidles up beside one or the other of the parents and asks them their name and begins to talk to them. The coach is a good man to coach even though he knows his son does not play as he should because he is predisposed to distraction and doing his own thing. This video and the story recounted really hurt me. It hurt me since children are our future and, as such, they are a class of persons deserving of all of our protection -especially children with disabilities. How does one treat a child like this?! I hope justice is served in some way.
This kid couldn't communicate to his dad what is going on. His dad just noticed him being different, and having notes sent from school that he is violent. So he wired the kid. Not sure what I'd do.
The teachers in question have been fired according the article I read on MSN.com
My GF is a CEA and works with autistic/non-verbal/otherwise disabled kids...she was absolutely horrified at this. Each kid has their own behavioural profile they follow, there are some things you just don't do to these children or they go into distress and meltdown. Disgusting that someone would push these kids buttons for jollies knowing that they can't stick up for themselves or communicate verbally about it.
Yep, its on CNN front page today and Yahoo sofar that I've seen.
Cool story bro...but how are you going to feel about that coaches kid when he starts running across the field, disrupting the game, or tries to strike up a conversation with a linesman in the middle of a game? Or when he is spending more time herding his kid than he is coaching? Compassion has limits. As the kid of a Special Ed teacher that taught tards, and as a parent and soccer coach, I can assure you that putting up with some retards hijinks gets old, fast. It's not fair to the other kids.
Harsh, but there it is.
But the aide and teachers behavior towards this poor kid is shameful, and I hope more is done.
Half the problem with children these days is they have no fear of authority. Sure this teacher is a arsehole, lets remember, the majority of teachers can't install the discipline needed for class room control anymore cause of PC bullsh1t.
I'm pretty sure most of you bastards on here are wired up by your parents, and they are probably going to sue me.
