But of course. 'Tis the American way.

Can a three year old even have 'special needs'? I would think they all do, they're still babies.

I watched part of the video. The mother may have been nervous or coached, but she didn't look or sound genuinely upset about this at all. Crocodile tears?

Yes, I saw where the mother said he was non-verbal.

We don't know if he was physical with the other students or hurting himself where it would be necessary to restrain him.

In a community playgroup, a three year old took a metal teapot and smashed it into my daughter's face leaving a cut. The boy's mother didn't apologize to me or correct her son. Afterwards we had a pediatrician and he wanted to know what happened to my daughter's face. I had to explain it wasn't child abuse.

Parents tolerate their destructive children and teachers don't have that luxury.

yes I've heard 3 is too young to diagnose ADHD and autism. Just because mom has a feeling doesn't make it a diagnosis.

I again think it's ridiculous for a teacher to to restrain a 3 year old and i'd like more details on why they made that decision..the mother found out 2 weeks later, the child wasn't injured and we really don't know why this happened....but people take legal action about everything these days. It really feels like mom wants a payout because of this and it strikes a nerve for me as she was already getting free daycare which most don't get around here.

There are some schools for special needs students in MA where teachers and aides are able and allowed to restrain children. They are given special wrap things to restrain them. Parents who send their kids there are obviously made aware and ok with the restraint procedures.

It sounds like part of the issue was they were supposed to tell the mom within 24 hours...but she wasn't told until another 2 weeks. If she ok'ed the restraint procedures I"m not sure she has much of a case.

The teacher never reported this. A witness entered the classroom, saw what was going on, and filed a report.

"disability advocates say teachers were way out of line"

"any devices used to tie someone down are NEVER allowed"

I wonder who the witness was.

I agree tying someone down is extreme. What I find irksome is that this was basically free daycare...and now this mother will most likely get a huge payout because we have such a sue happy culture. So more money taken from the school system over a dumb thing someone did...and I'm not a fan of BPS offering free daycare like that in the first place.

Wow… It’s a whole day. 6+ hours.
Outside of Boston it’s from 5 yo and 3 hours.
