Re:Child with symptoms of autism subjected to cruel treatment for misbehavior in school



Dear Governor Beshear,

I have received new information and request your urgent intervention in the following situation in Mercer County, Kentucky.

I have been informed by reliable sources that Chris Baker, a nine year old autistic student, was told by his special education aide to climb inside a bag intended for therapeutic purposes as a punishment to "control his autistic behavior" on 14 December 2011.

He was placed in the bag with the drawstring tightened and left in the hallway in the school. When his mother, Sandra Baker, was called to the school to get her son, she demanded that he be removed from the bag right away. The teacher struggled to undo the drawstring, and Chris emerged sweaty and non-communicative.

According to the teacher, this had been done several times over the last year, but Sandra didn't know until this latest incident. While she met with state officials on Monday 19 December 2011 before a possible meeting with school officials, there is no guarantee that those meetings will prevent this kind of abuse from happening again -- either to Chris or to other students.

Not only could this teacher's actions -- placing an Autistic child inside a bag not intended for confinement, and tightening the drawstring to keep him there, for punishment -- could potentially have led to serious injury or death, but these actions were an egregious violation of the rights of any human being to be free from fear of abuse.

Governor Beshear ,If you think it's wrong to tell an Autistic child to climb inside a bag not intended as an instrument of confinement and tighten it with a drawstring, which could potentially have led to serious injury or death, as punishment, then please sign this petition. This is wrong. This is abuse. It needs to stop.

I thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely yours,

William Nicholas Gomes

Enjoy Life -- there is no 2nd chance !!



TO THOSE OF US WHO ARE ALREADY THERE

AND TO THOSE WHO WILL SOON BE THERE  J



The Secrets of Old Age

  

Before middle age – Do not fear!

After middle age – Do not regret!

Enjoy Your Life While You Can!


Do not wait till you cannot even walk just to be sorry and to regret.

As long as it is physically possible, visit places you wish to visit.




When there is an opportunity, get together with old classmates,

old colleagues & old friends.

  
The gathering is not just about eating; it's just that there is not much time left.



Money kept in the banks may not be really yours.

When it is time to spend, just spend, & treat yourself well as you're getting old.

Whatever you feel like eating, just eat!  It is most important to be happy.





Food which are good for health – eat often and more - but that is not everything.

Things which are not good for health – eat less but once in a while

do not abstain from them totally.

  
Treat sickness with optimism.  Whether you are poor or rich,               



Everyone has to go through the birth, aging, sickness and death.                     

There is no exception, that's life.
Do not be afraid or worried when you are sick.
Settle all the outstanding issues before hand
and you will be able to leave without regret.
God handles your life & loves you,
but be in charge of your own moods
If worries can cure your sickness, then go ahead and worry.
If worries can prolong your life, then go ahead and worry.
If worries can exchange for happiness, then go ahead and worry.
Our kids will make their own fortune.
Look After Four Old Treasures
1. Your old body – pay more attention to health,
you can only rely on yourself on this.

                                                                                                                                                                           
2.     Retirement fundsmoney that you have earned,
it is best to keep them yourself.



3.     Your old companiontreasure every moment with your other half,


one of you will leave first.

 

                        PERFECT LOVE

4. Your old friendsseize every opportunities to meet up with your friends.

Such opportunities will become rare as time goes by.
WITH FRIENDS, EVERYDAY YOU MUST LAUGH, DANCE & BE HAPPY !!!
 

Running water does not flow back.  

So does life!                        
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT

 
God

                  

ALL THE WISHES FOR A VERY HAPPY, PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS  NEW YEAR.

MANNAN AND FAMILY
