At least this distracted me from that other, pettier thing I was raging over

[sasha_lilyrat]

I have NO WORDS.

I feel physically sick. I can honestly say I have never been so disgusted in my entire life.

I'm not even gonna rant. I don't know what I can possibly say to this. I'm just going to... well, to be honest, I think I'm gonna cry.

ETA: Making this post public. More people need to see this.

WHAT THE HELL. I'm outraged, that's completely disgusting. and the poor kid was in the process of getting tested, surely his teacher knew this, and even then, if he *was* disruptive enough to be removed from the class, WHAT WAS THIS IDIOT TEACHER THINKING!? Fuck knows why she didn't think to.. I dunno, have a private chat with his mother instead, rather then getting him voted out by his (5 year old) peers.

Is is so hard, Humanity? Really?? Because I really don't see what is going on in your tiny wormy brains to make you want to treat other people like shit.

But oh yeah, somebody with Aspergers obviously has no feelings or brainfunction, do they.

Fuck people.

I think what angers me the most is that this:

Thursday night, his mother heard him saying "I'm not special."

Barton said Alex is reliving the incident.

They said he was "disgusting" and "annoying," Barton said.

...is followed by this:

But the state attorney's office concluded the matter did not meet the criteria for emotional child abuse, so no criminal charges will be filed

WHAT THE FUCK. This kid is going to be traumatised and psychologically scared for LIFE because of this experience. I'd know. HOW IS THAT NOT EMOTIONAL CHILD ASBUSE???

And the comments... oh god.
she should be promoted to Asst. Superintendent in charge of Discipline. My hats off to her. Great Job

Yep, now I'm crying.

As if I wasn't depressed enough today...

[sasha_lilyrat]

Likewise. I'm sorry. D:

[sasha_lilyrat]

You said it all. I can't add anything to that. Crying too much. D:

[onbluebayou]

I just can't form words to say how disgusted I am. If that's not emotional child abuse, what is?

[sasha_lilyrat]

Exactly.

Now normally you know me I don't respond to these posts just cause I don't normally know what to say but this...this...I don't think I can even call it a post on that site!!!

That...that makes me fear for people! If someone can do that, what else can they do? Really, that is disgusting!!!!!

[sasha_lilyrat]

Indeed. I couldn't sleep for hours last night because I was hurting so much for that poor little boy. Never mind poverty and illness and such, this is what makes me really fear for this world. And this is why I'm so defensive about Autistic issues. D:

[joulez217]

Yeah I know what you mean! It is just disgusting that anyone should have to go through something like that!
