News of Autistic Boy Allegedly Put in Bag Sparks Controversy Online

An archaic response to a child's (incident) needs.

Is this 1812 or 2012?

All the best and future (legal) success to/for Christopher and Sandra.

If a teacher did this to my child there would be an ass whoopin delivered directly by me.

You're meant to leave the child alone. This is why schools have sensory rooms so they're able to stay in the room and they're able to do their own thing till they calm down. Without having to hurt anyone either.

While what the teacher did was totally wrong, I also understand that some people end up doing things like this out of exasperation. If an autistic child is severely impaired, they can be VERY difficult and literally drive you crazy! Some are NOT treatable no matter what therapy is used, and completely uncontrollable no matter how hard you try to discipline. They run away, scream, destroy, bite, hit, etc. The teacher should have just quit her job she should have walked away before doing that.
