Click the above link for full article by Cal Montgomery about the Judge Rotenberg Center’s usage of torture. Spread this around.
“What happened to Andre McCollins is still legal. It shouldn’t be. It wouldn’t be legal for anyone else — not convicted terrorists, not captured enemy combatants, not anybody. And it shouldn’t be: torture should not be legal. But it happens every day to disabled people.”
Below is an excerpt:
2 years after the McCollins trial, the FDA took testimony on the practice of contingent electric shock as a way of controlling disabled people. Advocate after advocate urged them to ban the discredited and abusive practice, pointing to the fact that the United Nations regards the practice as torture. And the FDA seemed to be listening. In 2016, it was reported that the regulations needed to stop JRC from doing this to people had been drafted.
And then … nothing. The Obama administration declined to stop this. The Trump administration has so far refused to stop it as well.
Today disabled advocates and their supporters are continuing to demand that the FDA release the regulations, ban what happened to Andre McCollins, and move toward a world in which people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who need supportive services are able to access services that they themselves find supportive and that promote their ability to live the kinds of lives they want for themselves.

‘Like’ is not the right response; being appalled that torture is used agains helpless individuals because someone else doesn’t like their beharvior is the right response. And supporting petitions that advocate against torture is the minimal response.
Wow. That’s messed up. It is good that you write this blog. I didn’t know it was this bad in America. For disabled people.
I watched your video’s on YouTube too. And i read your other blogs as well. You progressed through the years. Despite of your setbacks. The internet is a good place for non verbal people to communicate.
Much love from the netherlands. Boycke.
