She was attempting to leave the classroom to get to a school party in another room with the rest of her class. NOT fleeing the building. She was physically restrained from leaving the Special Ed. room because her attire was "inappropriate" (cow sweatshirt). The adults initiated the physical confrontation. The child was injured (bruises on her arms). The child was then arrested, handcuffed and charged with battery for kicking, spitting and scratching IN SELF-DEFENSE.

There's more detail in this follow up article: http://abcnews.go.com/US/Story?id=6640478&page=1

Yuck. there is probably nothing wrong with this girl. She doesn't have autism she was dx-ed with "aspergers syndrome" which is another version of O.D.D. That is to say any kid whose parent's think there is something wrong with them can have it.

She was being restrained for trying to leave a part of the room she was told to stand in. She responded as any kid SHOULD. She fought back, as opposed to lying down and submitting.

The doctor they interviewed said this reaction was part of Ev's "sickness," because kids with autism have a "fight or flight" response.
Um, actually, all lifeforms have a fight or flight response. The people on Ev's "side" are as bad as the ones who restrained her and then called the police..and the police who arrested her!

"Asperger syndrome (sometimes called Asperger's syndrome, AS, or the more common shorthand Asperger's), is characterized as one of the five pervasive developmental disorders, and is commonly referred to as a form of high-functioning autism. In very broad terms, individuals with Asperger's have normal or above average intellectual capacity, and atypical or less well developed social skills, often with emotional/social development or integration happening later than usual as a result.

The term "Asperger's syndrome" was coined by Lorna Wing in a 1981 medical paper. She named the syndrome after Hans Asperger, an Austrian psychiatrist and pediatrician."

What they did to that girl was bullshit.

MCL27:
Here is a copy of a comment I saw in a ABC news article that sums up the mentality of educators.

Schools all over the country try to defend their unlawful and overreaching actions every day. That battle has been going on for DECADES: schools - charged with teaching the Constitution - do not seem capable of understanding that they themselves are subject to its limitations or that their students are protected by it. My sister (retired school teacher and a few other things) attributes this in part to the fact that many or even most school personnel never have known any environment BUT school: it IS their whole world, from childhood all the way up. Maybe they just never realize that schools are but a very small cog in the vast machinery of society, government, law and nationhood.

like i have said before it all comes down  to training. the schools dont want to pay the money to train their staff properly just to save a few bucks and than this happens and they have to pay even more money. train them right the first time for up front costs and save more money in the long run.

same goes for the LEO's. had they been trained on how to deal with special needs persons they would know how to handle and deescalate the situation BEFORE it got that far.
