Treatment or Torture @ Judge Rotenberg Center - ABC & CNN news

Two short news clips from ABC & CNN news airings exposing the Judge Rotenberg Center, which is the only school that is using electro-shock as a means of enforcing behavior of the school children. They are being treated like rats and even prisoners of war could not be given this "aversion therapy". The United Nations would not allow it!

this cant be right.

anyone capable of love and thinking should see that. All I know is that if I had a job and I had to do somthing I was unsure about, I would study it and draw up a intelligent conclusion on whether or not I would do it or not. These teachers though, they havnt the time to find out whether or not the treatment is good/bad coz they got too much work to do and not enough pay - do what the "experts" say. dont have time to see if what they expertise in is good/bad either!

@CH1P52 - Dear CHIP52 - You can apply the principle that if you wouldn't want this done to you, then it cannot be OK. No need to draw up a complicated "they don't have time", etc.

Thanks for your comments.

I do not think he would listen.

@Beauty4Aspies Tell that to that (expletive deleted) Recordscience! He thinks torturing children is all fine and dandy if it makes them controllable!

[Beauty4Aspies]

@Thoralmir It does not help at all! What the autistic need of all functioning level, is a lot of support (but not too much) and lots of love.

@Recordscience Where the hell did THAT statement come from?

[Recordscience]

@Thoralmir Lets shut down all hospitals because they bring into existence the risk of mal-practice

[Thoralmir]

@Recordscience Also, let's not forget the poor saps that get misdiagnosed and sent here. This is the sort of place where if you're sane going in, you be crazy and traumatized going out.

[Thoralmir]

@Recordscience Perscriptions, therapy sessions, and positive reinforcement. You get into unethical territory with starvation, verbal, emotional and physical abuse, electroshock, 2+2=5 treatments, and isolation from all positive human contact. Let's not forget sessions where paitents are commanded to break a rule, and get electrocuted whether they obey the command or not. How the hell is THAT supposed to help a person's mental health?! You tell me.

I worked at a state school with very self abusive clients. If you have a good psychologist and behavior plan you can heal these people. I have seen miraculous recoveries. There is absolutely no reason to torture these kids.

@Thoralmir A Utilitarian, you mean? I am not strictly a utilitarian, it depends on the situation. Here, there is no other solution (unless you can come up with one).

[Thoralmir]

@Recordscience And your continued defence of this prison tells me that you're the "ends always justify the means" type.
