Re: Father sends autistic son to school with a wire, exposing bullying by teachers
This is shocking, appalling
The father wanted to know to know what was going on because the school was covering up what was really going on, hence placing a wire.
Everyone should have been fired.
Anxiety issues is common with autistic people. -

Dreadful. The thought of that poor boy crying because he thinks he's not going to see his dad again is awful.
On another note, I had to open it in a new tab because the kitten on the boobs in your signature was distracting me too much. -
Re: Father sends autistic son to school with a wire, exposing bullying by teachersHe never had to do that. He should have acted on his instincts and withdrawn the child without creating false proof.(Original post by gagaslilmonsteruk)
It's bad that he had to wire his own boy. That school should be ashamed of themselves. The teachers clearly aren't capable of looking after the children

I can never understand why people who clearly hate kids would choose to work as teachers. -
Re: Father sends autistic son to school with a wire, exposing bullying by teachersThere are numerous career options, most of which don't involve kids?(Original post by The_Last_Melon)
Paycheque.
But I guess these petty tyrants enjoy abusing their power.

Re: Father sends autistic son to school with a wire, exposing bullying by teachers
jesus....they should all be fired immediately. thats absolutely disgusting. like the poor man said...that would never have happened in an ordinary class, but the fact that the kids are autistic and vulnerable just makes it so much worse. if thats been happening for a year and a half who knows what damamge has been done to those poor kids. itll take a long time for them to fully get over the effects of those teachers. i know this from experience, having an autistic member of my family.
it upsets me just to look at the guy, let alone hear the recording.
speechless. -
Re: Father sends autistic son to school with a wire, exposing bullying by teachersWithout evidence to show that the teachers were actually bullying the children, the bullying in that school would still have gone-on. I think the father did the right thing by exposing the bullies in this way. Did he put his child at further risk of bullying? Yes. But it was all worth it in the end. It would prevent other kids from being bullied too, and it would weed out the bullies sending a clear message to teachers that should they think of bullying a child they had better beware that they might be recorded in the act.(Original post by The_Last_Melon)
The father thinks his kid is being abused so he fixes a wire?
It makes you wonder what he'd do if he suspected someone was dying.
EDIT: He is complicit to the abuse by allowing it to happen when he could have withdrawn the child.Last edited by Martyn*; 24-04-2012 at 08:54. -
Re: Father sends autistic son to school with a wire, exposing bullying by teachers
How were those teachers not fired?
I hope this video helps change the shooling of those with disabilities because clearly it is appaling, I mean this is only one incident think of all the others occuring everywhere else. -
He didn't appear to suspect abuse, he simply knew something must be triggering Akian's behaviour. He spends a lot of time with him so knew it wasn't normal, was frustrated that the behaviourist couldn't find anything so took it in to his own hands to try and identify the source of the problem. You can see that he was shocked and appalled when he found out the abuse was taking place.(Original post by The_Last_Melon)

Re: Father sends autistic son to school with a wire, exposing bullying by teachersTo be fair, I don't think he was fully aware that he was putting his kid in further risk... All he supposely knew was weird **** was going down.(Original post by Martyn*)

None the less I thought his actions were appropriate... Simply removing his kid wouldn't have exposed them, wiring would have -
Re: Father sends autistic son to school with a wire, exposing bullying by teachersMe too, though I do not have aspergers, but I was bullied by my teacher anyways. Handling it when being "normal" child was difficult, so I can only imagine how hard it is for autistic child... Those teachers should be fired and forbidden to work with children ever again...(Original post by Martyn*)
I was bullied myself at school because of my (undiagonosed) aspergers, mainly by pupils but sometimes by teachers too. I couldn't tell anyone.
I think it was good thing that dad put the wire on his son. Would he just withdrawn his kid the bullying in that classroom would have continued till eternity, but now people know about it and hopefully more parents became aware of what has been being done to their kids.
how can such awful people exist, and how do they ever get jobs in looking after people who are more vulnerable than most?
