[QUOTE="Steely, post: 145357, member: 3301"] WOW Beth. I am so sorry. I understand about feeling like giving up. I happen to be in one of those moods myself today. Sigh. Life. Please, please, please get your son out of that school. The same thing happened to my son in a therapeutic school. The crux of the story was that they were restraining him the wrong way, and cut off his air supply. All of the blood vessels exploded in his face, neck, and eyes - and he could have died. Kids do die from being restrained incorrectly every year. There is only one legal way to restrain a child. I would find out if your school is using that method, and whether every staff member is certified in that protocol. They are supposed to have yearly re-certifications on file for every employee. If not, call the police - and regardless, I think I would remove my son ASAP. Once I removed my son from the school where they hurt him, he did exponentially better. The constant physical restraining seemed to perpetuate itself - almost like a self fulfilling prophecy. Almost like he sought out the physical contact. It was weird, and I never really figured it out - but I know that I felt like that school had damaged my son, just like you do. He had nightmares from that restraining episode, and I am sure PTSD. This all just breaks my heart. For you. For me. For all of us and our difficult children. There just has to be a better way. [/QUOTE]
