Mommy, I’ve been hurt all day, one little girl’s story

BREAKING STORY: A brave parent of a 13 year old autistic boy from Floyd Middle School in Cobb County, Georgia has came forward.

This child was thrown into a concrete isolation room after being handcuffed, dog tied, abused, injured in a horrific manner. His neck is badly bruised and injured, he suffered an embolism in an area that’s unspeakable.  He has lash marks across him.

The Isolation room has a narrow window, locking door, padded walls urine stains, no ventilation, and is made of concrete and the pads are thin.

The alleged culprits are the school staff.  Ironically, this incident happened the day before Rep George Miller, the  head of the Congressional committee which to planned to present  national bill HR2747, prohibiting restraints on disabled children.

Advocate Michael Robinson, who is aiding the parents in this matter is outraged.  Mr Robinson said, “I rally behind the efforts of Senator Miller and his proposed legislation although I believe it’s a shell that will need to be amended with some strong and heavy additions. I believe we now have their attention, now it’s time to force the leader of our nation into speaking, or forever be silent. He must take a stance!  There has to be a point of breaking in which we must say ENOUGH and this must stop.

That time has come and past, brave parents have stepped up and led rallies and had state and federal legislators take note and actually write legislation. The mother of all that legislation must give birth to something new, something so stringent that this will never take place again without serious consequences. I have the pictures. They are alarming and the fact CPS, the DA, nor the police will investigate. The F.B.I. has been notified and has responded. We shall seek justice and will shall be heard.”
