Restraints Conducted Illegally at New Glarus School District

Submitted by admin on Mon, 12/30/2019 - 11:54am

Dear Editor,
Death of a 13-year-old autistic child from being illegally restrained by school staff. On November 13th, 2018, Max Benson, a child with autism, was restrained face down for nearly two hours until he vomited and then passed out at his school in northern California, Guiding Hands. This leads to the question, does illegal restraint and seclusion happen here in Wisconsin? Sadly, the answer in the New Glarus School District is a confirmed yes.
