Come’on grownups! Let’s save those kids!
A name and an email address can make you a hero to a disabled abused child…
The infamous Judge Rotenberg Center for disabled kids, even the United Nations has declared this school in MA an institution of torture. Now despite its high financial clout you can join human rights groups the world over in ending the abuse, and preventing more deaths! All you need is a name and email address to sign the online petition and show the UN what Americans think of state sponsored torture!

People considering the Judge Rotenberg Center may wish to know that thisschool is currently being investigated by the
Department of Justice because of the school's documented history, over
several decades, of abusive and physically destructive treatment of its
students. The abuses include repeated electrical shocks, often 50 to 80 per day per student, and often including a requirement for particular students to wear their electric shock equipment while taking showers or baths. Additionally, the school makes
a practice of lending the shock equipment to parents for use when the
children pay visits home.

These and other, even more serious, facts about the school are easily documentable via a search on the school's name.
