Judge Rotenberg Centre - article in UK newspaper

This is the first time I've seen JRC mentioned in a British newspaper.  I read it just now in the Weekend Magazine of the Guardian, which is a pretty left-wing, broadsheet newspaper.

RE: Judge Rotenberg Centre - article in UK newspaper

that was hard to read.

Those kids may not show it outwardly, because of fear of punishment, but I bet they have a lot of pentup hostility and anger towards JRC that they may unleash on someone later in life. Stored up hatred isnt a good thing, especially for us.

Walden Two is a fool's paradise. The people at the JRC, in a way, don't know what true happiness is... they just know how to fake it.


If you want to make someone happy as opposed to behaving in a convenient way for YOU, you don't say "Be happy or I'll punish you." You say, "I love the way you are so happy!"

Hey; at least they don't think all autistics are low-functioning any more; look at how they said "...must be at the severe end of the autistic spectrum"... not that the severe deserve it any more than any NT tho!


Edit: Hilary Cook made it out!! I'm so excited and happy for her! She was the girl who couldn't stop crying and was suicidal every day and feared she would be at the JRC beyond her 21st birthday. Big Grin

I'm certain those BRLS are torture, holding someone against their will and asking them to perform acts, that result in their grtting painful shocks. The UN should be hearing about this.

The thing with the 'Brandon' fellow got me. 5,000 times in a single day? I'm going to hope that I don't have nightmares or get sick tonight. That's just..... there aren't words. I just hope the Justice Department manages to actually shut the JRC down.
Violet-Yoshi, the UN has heard about it. The Disability Rights Int'l group, that ASAN was a part of, were the ones who brought this information to the UN. This also caused the DOJ to take notice. If I had to guess, the UN's waiting to see what happens with the DOJ's case. That, or they're just as incompetent as people claim they are. We'll see.

Just wait till you hear what happened to Antwone Nicholson... so many shocks he couldn't possibly have stopped for about a month to eat, sleep, use the toilet, etc. LIES. they said he was acting out that much? He couldn't have. LIES!

I never heard about this. It makes Jigsaw seem like a compassionate man, just wanting to help people understand the meaning of life. I mean, that was what he was trying to do, but um if he were nicer there would be none of the tortue yeah.

What would be great is if the U.N. could send an ''Undercover agent'' into this horrid place to be ''Enrolled'' as another student to video tape the abuses first hand,then send this evidence to world news stations and back to Headquarters in order to prove once and for all these abuses are actually happening,and to finally close the place down for good.

Maybe one of those people who do undercover investigations of animal laboratories, only because they have prior experience with going undercover.
