Investigation Finds Failure to Adequately Investigate Allegations of Abuse in School for Children with Special Needs
A school teacher engaged in physical and mental abuse of special education students in a Randolph School operated by the South Shore Collaborative, according to allegations made by three school aides and found to be credible in a report issued today by the Disability Law Center, the state Protection and Advocacy system. DLC’s investigation report also concludes that two state agencies failed to adequately investigate the allegations of abuse and neglect.
The Disability Law Center conducted its investigation pursuant to federal authority to investigate allegations of abuse and neglect in schools teaching students with disabilities. It issued its findings in a 34 page report on February 2010. A rebuttal by the school, DLC’s response and two affidavits from the parent of one of the students, are included in the report.
