Father Puts Wire On Son With Autism, Records Verbal Abuse From Teachers

When Akian, a 10 year old boy with autism, was accused by his school of having "violent outbursts" at school, his father claimed it was against his "sweet and non-violent" nature. To try to see what was going on, Stuart Chaifetz, the boys father, sent his son to his New Jersey Horace Mann Elementary School wearing a hidden recorder. The tape returned with hours of verbal and emotional abuse from two of his teachers. They talked about their inappopriate behaviors like joking about their alcohol abuse and sex lives in front of their students, who all have behavioral conditions. They also were caught yelling at the boy for talking to himself, which he sometimes does. Chaifetz later posted this recording on YouTube and recieved many emails of others with special needs being bullied by their teachers. Many of the parents were desperate to find out what was happening to their child and asked for help on how to wire them.
