Occupy the Judge Rotenberg Center

http://occupyjrc.org/

"Will you be a part of the change... Or will you condone torture?

The Judge Rotenberg Center (JRC) is a school and treatment facility based in Canton, Massachusetts that uses electric shocks (remotely administered through devices that are required to be worn on the student's body throughout the day), withholding of food and other abuses in the name of 'behavioral change' all geared toward kids and adults with developmental challenges, autism and/or psychiatric and emotional difficulties. Other accusations against the school have included reports of excessive use of restraints and forced inhalation of ammonia. Former teachers, parents and advocates have spoken out about the obvious traumatic impact of these measures on both the children who are treated in this way and the children who witness their classmates being so treated. IT IS THE ONLY SCHOOL IN THE NATION THAT USES THIS PAINFUL 'AVERSIVE' CONDITIONING."

As survivor members of CAFETY, once as children held captive against our will, utterly powerless, tortured in the name of treatment, we recognize now that we DID NOT deserve to be penalized for our natural responses and subjected to the horrors done to us in the name of treatment.
