This is an article that isn't about someone overcoming something in their life but it is an article I feel is extremely important for people to read. This article tells the story of a father of a ten year old autistic boy, who decided to put a wire on his son for one school day because he had a gut feeling something wrong was going on. What he found out is astonishing. This father found out this special education teacher was calling the kids names, screaming at them, talking about inappropriate topics, and talking about the kid's parents in front of them. There is a link in the article which shares the YouTube video the father put together of what he found. I personally couldn't watch this video because it makes me sick. It is unbelievable to me that a professional, who chose to go into this line of work would do this to these children. Clearly there is something wrong here and this father was brave enough to investigate. This story is sickening to me and I feel needs to be shared. These kids already have enough going on in their lives, they don't need their own teacher, someone they should be able to trust, bringing them down like that. Some don't have the ability to speak up for themselves which is the worst part about all of this. These kids deserve to be treated with respect and their teacher should be the one guiding them through life, and teaching them so they can grow up to be an amazing person. Those kids deserve the best and deserve to be treated with respect, not talked down to and screamed at.
