Ohio Cameras In Special Needs Classrooms

For safety and protection for both children and staff. Catches abuse and any false accusations.

Why is this important?

There have been many cases of abuse cover ups, abuse, neglect, restrained and injured, raped, and/or killed while in staff care. These children can not speak for themselves. Also, for the children's and staff safety and protection, if a staff member is falsely accused, they have a video to back their story up. If a child is being abused, it will be caught on cameras, and the abuser can be removed immediately. Cameras can save money on lawsuits because cameras will make the cases shorter. (Open and Shut cases) Cameras can also be a great teaching tool. Staff can go back and look closer on a child's behavior, see what may have caused it, and find ways to work with the child's need better. Parents can watch their children's education and know more about their child with special needs education. Tara Heidinger has gathered stories from all over the USA and more. This is her movement to build awareness. https://www.facebook.com/CamerasInSpecialNeedsClassrooms
Congressional Candidate Noel Nazario is working closely with Tara Heidinger in helping her get this accomplished. Safety of the children and staff should be first priority.
