Tom, if you are trying to make it appear that antivaccine ideas go hand in hand with wild conspiracy theories, you are doing a great job.

Vaccines are being used as part of the New World Order eugenics campaign to cull te population.
If you haven’t worked this out by now you need to get informed.
GMOs, sodium fluoride in the water, the Orwellian named ‘smart’ meters that fry your house with radiation…time for people to wake up!

Comment on Autism and Medication Part 3 – Antipsychotic Drugs by John

As someone who grew breasts myself due to taking risperdal for 11 years, I can say the pain never ends. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about the damage it has done. I luckily am normal weight, but my breasts are big enough to need a bra. And yes I wear one daily. I have thought about surgery however I don’t want the possible issues that come with it.

Comment on Should autistic children be allowed service dogs at school? by Kelly M

Since tethering children to dogs is dangerous, I can certainly understand why schools would not want autistic students tethered to dogs at school. If a service dog is trained to perform tasks that help an autistic student (being tethered to a kid isn’t a task and doesn’t require training), then the dog should be allowed at school provided the student is capable of caring for the dog. The school should not be required to provide a caretaker for the dog.

If the family is happy to send along somebody to handle the dog at all times then fine but the school should most definitely not be required to provide a handler. The other issue is that, at least here in Australia, the special schools are divided up into numerous yards and there are gates everywhere, the students have plenty of staff around and quite frankly I have found that the dog simply isn’t needed at school for my son.

While public schools and businesses fall under different titles in the ADA, it has already been established that a business does not have to supply one with anything for the dog. By that same train of thought, I strongly feel schools should not be forced to bear the burdon of responsibility or to spend my tax dollars hiring and training aides as handlers for service dogs that require an adult handler.

Comment on Parents online petition ‘Reprimand all Riverview School employees responsible for the negligence of Avonte Oquendo’ by Esther from RI

Are they kidding? Do none of them have children of their own? Should their license to parent have been revoked when their children fell down the stairs, ate poison berries in the back yard, or rode too far on a bicycle and lost track of time? I am sure that the staff of the school are heartbroken too. To threaten to revoke a professional license because a tragic accident happened is just plain draconian. By the way, their grammar is horrendous. “… the negligence of Avonte Oquendo…” is wrong. The young boy was not negligent.

I am a self-admitted Grammar Freak. You got me there. 🙂
I just don’t think there’s really a villain here.
I suspect that the student to staff ratio is too high. I have read conflicting news stories about how many adults and how many students there were. I have read conflicting reports about how the group was moving or where they were. If the student to staff ratio is too high, that needs to be adressed immediately. I have read news stories that said there were 13 students, one teacher, and two aids. If that’s true then the ratio is nearly 4:1. That’s FAR too high for a population of wanderers. Not having alarmed doors is a mistake for a population of wanderers. Having the security camera footage be inacceasible due to no one’s knowing the passwords is a mistake for ALL populations. At least three mistakes right there. But is there a villain? Is there someone who should be barred from a career?

In reply to Esther from RI.

Esther, I think you’re not fully understanding the petition. They aren’t asking for the reprimand of EVERY staff member. Just every staff member whose negligence lead to the disappearance and eventual death of a young special needs boy. Being that the child was in a “special school” tells me that the family and school district have a legal agreement called an I.E.P. or Individualized Education Plan. It was said that the boy was supposed to have 1 on 1 instruction. That means that an aide was supposed to be with him every moment he was in the school’s care. That leads me to come to the conclusion that 1 on 1 instruction is in his I.E.P. An I.E.P. is a legally binding document and it is painfully obvious that Avonte did not have that 1 on 1 instruction. If he didn’t, shame on the school. If he did, where was his aide? Should he/she not be reprimanded for not doing their job? If he/she were in the military and couldn’t be found to do their job, that would be called MIA and he/she would face a multitude of sanctions. They need to be brought to justice. If not for this child, then for the next one they lose.
If I read your statements correct, it seems as though you may just be a grammar Nazi. I think you probably only read a portion of the petition and made a snap decision based on the way it was written not the reason it was written. That’s ok. That’s a mistake. Neglecting and thereby losing a child is not mistake. It’s criminal!
