"Let us see!"

There have been many incidents in our MPS school system that involve our special needs kids. Many of them which are like my son; nonverbal and not able to tell what happened to them. As an autism parent, I know how my son moves, feels, and communicates. So when I go get him from school and he is scared, face swollen, and clothes bloody, due to them letting him beat his face up, it's a problem. He got home and started hitting himself in different spots on his body, as if that's where he was hit at. Mocking others is his way of communicating to us. So we tried to take him back to school a couple days later, but as soon as we pulled up, he started screaming and crying and didn't want to enter the school. When we approached the situation everybody claimed they didn't know about anything that happened and they didn't see or hear anything! I think cameras should be installed in all special needs classes, so concerned parents like myself can have piece of mind knowing that we would be able to play back incidents if need be.

Why is this important?

If you are a parent of a special needs child or children and are concerned about how your children are treated while they are absent from you, help me make a difference. Parents with nonverbal kids like myself, remember, we are their voices, so let's be heard. Signing this petition is just the beginning, but we can fight until the END!
