Updated:EDT Jun 28, 2018 It is a major victory for the only school in the country that uses painful electric shocks on its disabled students.
A Bristol County Probate and Family Court judge has sided with the Judge Rotenberg Center in Canton, allowing the school to continue administering electric skin shocks.
The administration of former Gov. Deval Patrick tried to put a stop to the practice, which is known as an aversive treatment, in 2013, months after video surfaced of 18-year-old Andre McCollins receiving dozens of electric skin shocks at the center in 2002.
But Bristol Probate and Family Court Judge Katherine Field denied the motion in a ruling that came after a 44-day evidentiary hearing that ended in October 2016.
“(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," Field wrote in her June 20 ruling.
The decision was hailed by parents with students at the Judge Rotenberg Center, where 58 students were approved to receive electric skin shocks as of August 2017.
“As parents whose children attend and received treatment at the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center (JRC) we welcome the court’s ruling and repudiation of Massachusetts government officials at the Department of Developmental Service (DDS), who acted in bad faith and impermissibly made treatment decisions for JRC Clients - our children, just as officials within the agency had done in the 1980s and 1990s,” reads a statement from the JRC Parents Group.

Daily reminder. Psychiatry and Psychology are two completely fabricated jewish medical fields to try and explain the soul. To put it into perspective its like a dog trying to explain the human. It can't–because it isn't a human just like the jew can't because it has no soul.

Nigga wut? Imageboard users are majority spectrum-straddlers. Why do you think the governments keep tabs on these sites? It's because the bulk of us represent either a major, free thinktank resource, or, depending on the hive's mood, a major threat of discovery to government ops and media lies. If you spend a lot of time here and think of us as your "friends," it's time you asked your doctor for a referral for testing.

Autists can't have a break. Imagine being imprisoned and getting tortured every day. Americans aren't humans.

NeuroBiology, certain branches of chemistry, and very specific branches of biophysics explain "how the brain works." Neurobiology employs psychology, but it's more accurate to call psychology "the social study of individual reactions to outside stimulus."

They don't teach psychiatrists or psychologists any of the stuff they teach neuroscientists, they get double the schooling in the exact same fields they do and are taught the only practical things on top of that actual hard science to back their shit up.
