Something is happening that you need to know about.
The Judge Rotenberg Center in Massachusetts is still using painful electric shock devices to punish autistic & disabled people.

The JRC practices a form of behaviorism called Applied Behavioral Analysis.
Electric shocks, solitary confinement, physical restraint, starvation, sleep deprivation, etc. are all tactics used by the JRC to “control” the behavior of developmentally disabled people.

Six disabled people have died at the JRC in the time since it was founded.
Residents have been restrained and shocked for things as minor as not taking off their jacket, accidentally wetting the bed, and rocking back and forth.
The center has been condemned by the UN.
