Stop Child Shock Treatment at the Judge Rotenberg Center!

In 2013, a video of 18 year old Andre McCollins surfaced which showed employees of the Judge Rotenberg Center in Canton, Ma shocking him DOZENS of times for not removing his jacket. A few months later, former Ma Gov. Deval Patrick tried to put an end to the torturous treatment of these children. But Bristol Probate and Family Court Judge Katherine Field denied the motion on June 20th, 2018 saying the state "failed to demonstrate that there is now a professional consensus that the Level III aversive treatment used at JRC does not conform to the accepted standard of care for treating individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities,". This school is for children with disabilities and shock treatment, also known as aversive therapy, is used almost EVERY DAY on the 58 students who are "approved" to receive electric skin shocks as of August 2017. These shocks cause lacerations and burns to the skin of the child. They have no say in how long the "treatment" lasts or how many times it can happen in a day. The UN deems this Level III aversive treatment as TORTURE. Please sign this petition to SHUT DOWN The Judge Rotenberg Center because NO child should fear going to school, especially at the hands of people who are supposed to care for them.
