If so, it is time to make difference, you could be a lot of help.

then you know she was just frustrated, but loves the children. And was trying to teach him to obey instructions.

This boy drove his mother and the teacher to drink. That is very common with autistic children They often will cause parents and teachers to take pills get divorce and alcoholism . Ask any parent of an autistic child if they medicate themselves or drink heavily.

Mike, my brother in-law is father to a 24 year od autistic daughter. He just recently lost his wife who passed away at 49. Neither of them are heavy drinkers, or take pills. as a matter of fact he does not drink at all. I think you are painting with a VERY wide brush and should be careful with how you group people. If people drink or medicate themselves it likely out of self pity more then dealing with their autisic child. Those that embrace the child find it rewarding and find your comments offensive. My neice is a wonderful human being and I just recently learned more about her then ever as my wife has taken a very active role in her life. I suggest you try to learn about these kids. The love they give back is wonderful, and is what is helping my brother in-law get throught the tragic loss of his wife.

Lets talk about FACTS. If the recording was made in the class room by a digital recorder the sound quality should be very high when plaid back on a good system.
Should not be to hard for the school heads to recognize who it was. Would you recognize a fellow employee's voice? Also how do we know where the recording made?

Whether she was present during some of that verbal abuse is irrelevant, considering that disgusting behavior is CLEARLY the norm in her classroom.

Maybe read the articles and find out this was in no way "linching the first person". The man wanted to make sure that at the very least, all present would be at the least suspended. The school district's website stated just that, but it was later found she was actively teaching in the local high school.

Regardless of how much noise there is in the audio recording, people have uniquely identifiable formant spectra--not that difficult to verify accurately.

Given that classrooms take attendance and that some aids have been verified, it's not difficult to identify the location and whereabouts of the child.

Legitimate how? Some have already owned up to what they've said there. Or do you mean legitimate as in they should have been made aware that their statements in a public place were, well, PUBLIC???
Her lawyer can say ANYTHING he wants to, that lady lives in a world of poop now, and while she may not get fired, have financial or criminal penalties brought against her, she can now live forever in the bed that she made in tolerating that kind of cultivated behavior in her classroom.
I'm sure she can work at a gas station, somewhere, in near anonymity...

@Mark you never know. One of the murderers that the film Heavenly Creatures was based on went out of the spotlight until everything boiled down... Then she changed her name, moved countries, and became a successful murder mystery author. It wasn't until the movie came out decades later, that people linked her with her past.

The internet speeds things up, but change your name when your 15 minutes are up and you're a new woman.

u sound like a teacher...but until all the facts are presented, the child need to be protected, after all, the child does go to school to learn, right? as far as your statement to remove the child from school, not an option! teachers and aids are there to work with the children, not bully them in any manner. the persons in question should be FIRED when the investigation has concluded!

Yeah, rly. Wanting someone fired when they weren't even there...wtf???

Oh yes, the response to a verbally abusive group of silly, mean women is "even though the law dictates all children should have equal access to education, I'm just pulling my kid out", not "let's protect ALL children from people like this".

To state that the appalling behavior WASN'T the norm for her classroom is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? I assume at some point she was actually inside her own class.

listening to that tape gave me a headache. I feel sorry for the teachers who have to deal with those spoiled brats everyday. The parents can't wait to drop off the kids at school. The teachers are expected to do miracles with kids who can't or won't listen to simple instructions. NO THANKS even $350k

You need to lighten up . Those teachers love the kids. Did you listen to the whole 6 hours of tape ? Some autistic kids need to be scolded for misbehavior. If it was a girl I would say it was harsh, but for a 10 year old boy he needs to learn to follow institutions. Listen to the whole 6 hours before your witch hunt. They have skills and were just doing what they thought was right for the behavior of the special child.

mike; these teachers can love the kids. theres nothing against that. but do you really think its fair of them to be calling that little boy a bastard?? it wouldnt matter if he was a girl or not. its wrong. im confused, are you saying it was right for them to use this foul language because he was a 10yr old male child? to the extent of my knowledge foul language isnt a course or skill required to teach.

I just learned the boy was a terror in the classroom. He scratched and hit Jody and Kelly and threw chairs at them. He would bite them and throw temper tantrums. She has bruises and bites from him. He would not follow instructions. He would not stop screaming and yelling. They used to plead with him to stop throwing things at them. But the boy would only get more aggressive turning over tables and breaking anything he could grab. This is why the teachers tried to confront with him with harsh words. Listen to the whole 6 hours , I feel sorry for the teachers getting so much hate from you JEN and the angry child.

ken roberts..because like soo many arguments of the past; harsh words settle everything. magic fix. there was no need to use bad language.
Angela hill; yes it is verry much so disgusting. its funny that people claim that these kds are worthless because they have dissabilities and/or dont feel empathy when that specific attitude comes from ppl who MUST lack even the smallest grain of empathy to grin and bear trying to help these kids who honestly cant help themselves.

if you feel like you are on the point of insanity maybe its time to find another career. if the job isnt right and you cant handel it; change it.
as for your friends drinking problem.. totaly on them. you can find outlets if you are frustrated and need to take your mind off things.
And not to be rude, but please rethink what you are going to generalize with disordered children. this is not directed specifically at you because i have seen a wide number of ppl use the term "all autistic kids," every "normal" child is different; so why cant autistic kids be different, even if by a little from eachother? thats why Autism is refered to on a SPECTRUM isnt it?
and why would you bash the father for not wanting to see his child upset? if your child was sick and crying and you couldnt help them it would tear you up inside to see him/her soo frustrated and distraught. *if your a human being with emotions that is* if you are too harsh on a kid you are looked at as a jerk and awful parent. but you try and make your child too content and your a push over. everyone handles their child differently. never try and tell a parent they are doing it wrong unless the child is legitemently in danger.
and that break that teachers need? its called wekends, summer, winter, and spring vacation. yeah believe it or not the kids and teachers both need breaks from eachother! and this is how it was handled

yes i see am autistic kid daily

Yes I agree, but if you want to execute her you a name there would be no teachers left on the planet. i'm sure she took that job because she loves kids. She was upset and made a mistake , you want to kill her ?. I say lighten up. It's a tough tough job to babysit autistic kids. My friends have 2 autistic kids, they can get violent for no reason. They will attack other children and punch kick and bite because people like you are afraid to discipline them correctly. you need to look them in the eye and use a stern voice and say NO ... BAD. or they wont respect you. The father is lying when he said his kid is docile all the time. Autistic kids have no empathy for others and will cry attack and throw chairs knives break things and can be a nightmare. you would not last 5 minutes with my friends kids. The mom goes out and drinks every night after spending the day with them. i'll bet those teachers drink because of the stress of their job. They are probably crying right now

jhon perez: are those two children the only ones youve seen? thats a fairly poor sample considering how many there are and how varied their autistic traits can be. you seem to be making a pretty severe claim of "autistic" behavior based on a miniscule amount of evidence on the matter. quick question. are you an autism specialist?? im gonna guess no because with your previous comment you probably dont know the basics of autism.. ok how about another =D do you really for a fact know that the father is lying? do you hover over him at home and see his child thru his eyes? im gona take a wild guess and say no, no you dont.. and how do you know ITWASWRONG doesnt discipline his/her children?? itwaswrong clearly stated you dont know them OR their children soo what gives you the right to make accusations of them or their family?? the next time you think you know someones life or think to tell someone how to go about their own buisness; try instead taking your friends mom, and who ever else you know who tries to drink their problems away, to an AA meeting. help the ppl you know before insulting the ppl you obviously dont. ps itwaswrong said nothing about killing the teacher =D i know im probably out on a limb here.. but she might have just been saying IT WAS WRONG for them to call the kid a bastard.. hmm possible? i think so =D
