I thought shock therapy went out a long time ago. I am apalled to learn that these kids wear shock inducing backpacks. Why not run out to Petco and just get some shock collars or choke chains?

Probably better than them beating their heads so much they could cause themselves to go blind though...

These people never heard of padding or helmets? C'Mon....shocking backpacks? That's horrible.

Confed999

That won't get them to stop though.
I would think there's a better way too, but I'm no expert.

Shocking disabled people while bathing?!. I am no expert, but that is an exellent way to kill. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but if someone shocked me there definately would be some swearing involved.

I know of a program for kids who had behavioral problems and a doggy chock collar is just what they need as these kids know right from wrong, but think they do not have to follow the rules and try to get away with everything they can even when they know they can't.

Can we shock normal kids? Annoying batch of little b@stards, the lot.

I second the motion.

There should be some sort of shock gun that can be quietly aimed at peoples children in the mall or in the store that instantly stops the whining and their ability to push the cart (which they should never have their grimy little sticky nasty fingers on anyway).

I have a feeling that this report doesn't tell the whole story.

"Disabled" could mean someone with a "learning disability," meaning they are very hyper and aggressive.

I saw a program on one of them news shows about a school like this on the east coast, which could very well be this school. The subject of the show was a big kid, late teens, probably 6' and very well built. He was shocked whenever he made an aggressive or threatening move toward anyone. It's the only way to make him learn how not to harm others.

Poor Tophatter. A year ago she was cracking the whip, six months ago it was attack by kittens, and now she has a stun gun. That relationship is not going stale.

Shocking someone while wet? For cussing? Sloppy dress? Complaining?

Seems like the people who run the place probably need to get hit with a stun belt a couple times.

That's all I had to hear... public funding...

Ya know, I will be the first one to stand up and promote mandatory spankings for out of control mis-behaving children. I will admit to smacking Kenzie back on the rare occasions that she has smacked me first. I will even own up to turning the lock on her bedroom door around so that when I was having trouble getting her to stay in bed, I could close and lock her door until she decided to go to sleep. (I will even say that I am currently about to physically pick her up and take her into her room and put her pajamas on her myself if I have to tell her to do it one...more...time... )...........

But shocking children to get them to behave and not to be aggressive? How is using an electric current going to help this child become less aggressive? And what is the plan for when this 16 year old turns 18? Is some member of this sadistic hospital going to follow him around as an adult with a remote controlled zapper?

"He did not let that woman go through the door first"....bzzzzt

"He looked crossly at that other man that just pulled out in front of him".....bzzzzt

"He told some child in the movie theatre to shut the hell up"....bzzzt
