Outrage over Seven Hills West Public School putting autistic children in cage
Or butt wipes on parade...Click on the title above to read the whole story....
- Autistic children kept in fenced area
- Treatment inhumane, says NSW Opposition
- Matter of safety, says Education Department
A SYDNEY primary school that pens children with autism in a fenced area at lunchtimes should be investigated for human rights violations, the New South Wales Opposition says.
Parents with children at Seven Hills West Public School are angry that pupils with special needs are placed inside a fenced enclosure that has one tree, a bench and a dirt floor.
"To see the type of facility which autistic children are being penned in is outrageous," he said.
"I've seen cattle yards in better condition.
"You cannot treat children with autism in this way.
"I think it is in breach of every anti-discrimination act in the country."
The Department of Education said in a statement the enclosure was set up after parents raised safety issues.
"The school is located on a busy road. Without this area, the students may leave the school grounds and could potentially be injured," the department said.(And they can't seem to find one on one aids to be with them because?)
"Some of these children have no sense of boundaries and do not respond to staff asking them to stop.(So get the one on one aid....)
Once the school is satisfied a student will listen to directions from staff members and is also aware of playground boundaries, the child can use the playground."
The department said any student in the school could use this area if they chose.(Maybe...If it's Wednesday....And there was an "R" in it?)
"The area is never locked and students are supervised by a school learning support officer (what otherwise known as gestapo?)at all times," it added.
They should be put in a fenced in area with a tree and a bench and told to stay there until they learn how to act like human beings.
And I hope it rains.
