Day #149

I feel very strongly about this topic so I started a petition aimed at Governor Brown to put cameras in ALL California special needs classrooms. Many special needs students are non-verbal and cannot tell anyone if they are being abused in their classrooms by teachers, aides or other students. By putting cameras in ALL special needs classrooms we can protect our children, put an end to school based abuse, and give a witness that can exonerate those that are falsely accused as well.

As you should know by now I have two daughters on the autism spectrum, one severe non-verbal and one mild/moderate whose speech is improving but she is still not capable of telling me how she is being treated. They will be entering a special education classroom in the fall and honestly I am scared to let that happen. There are so many horror stories out there about children being abused by the very hands of those who are supposed to be guiding, teaching and nurturing these fragile young minds, it is frightening.

We NEED cameras in these classrooms to be the ever watchful eyes for absent parents and the voices for those who cannot speak for themselves! You can find the petition to sign here: http://www.change.org/petitions/governor-of-california-put-cameras-in-all-california-special-needs-classrooms
