After a Louisiana mom had noticed a strange change in her αutístíc son’s behavior, she secretly placed a voice recorder in her son’s backpack. This mom was horrified to hear the recording when he returned home from school.
When parents send their children to school, they expect their teachers to care for their students like they were their own. That’s why it was particularly horrifying for Milissa Davis, a loving mother, to learn that she had been offering up her child with special needs to his αвusєrs each time she dropped him off for class.
12-year-old Camden, Milissa Davis’s son has been diagnosed with severe αυтιѕм. When the boy began exhibiting abnormal behavioral changes, Milissa knew something must have happened to her son. Accordingly, the typically sweet and affectionate boy had become aggressive and began wetting the bed. Milissa suspected that his sudden personality change had to do with school. Because Camden couldn’t communicate what was wrong, the intuitive mother came up with the plan to hide a recording device in the child’s backpack, according to WBRZ.
After Camden returned from school with the recording device in his backpack, Davis immediately took it out and pressed the “play” button.
Davis was so horrified to hear her child getting вυℓℓιєd. What shocked her more was that the other students weren’t вυℓℓуιиg him but a teacher and his assistant.
“I just wanted to cry, scream and do everything I could because it was so bad.”, she told WBRZ.
The broken mother wanted to get justice for Camden as soon as possible. She felt terrible for him, thinking he might have gone through much worse.
Milissa released the recording to the public and then the school acted quickly by firing the two teachers and publishing a statement, KTBS reported.
The horrified mother posted about the incident on social media and talking about it on traditional media. She had a message for other parents like her:
“If they’re special needs, look at the situation as to why your child is acting that way because no child deserves to go through what my child did.”
Davis’s story quickly went viral. Many people sympathized with her and believed the school was at fault.
Milissa has since transferred Camden to a different school. However, she hopes that the Department of Education will implement a better protocol at Hope Academy to ensure that students, especially special needs children, are protected.
After the transfer, Camden was reportedly doing well at his new school but still having residual effects from the αвυѕє that occurred at his old school. Only time will tell if he can fully overcome the trauma inflicted by the verbal and psychological αвυѕє.
What would you do if a teacher вυℓℓιєd your child at school? Do you think Davis did the right thing by posting about the incident on social media?
