K-5 BECOMING A PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL (2/14/01) - Fred A. Baughman Jr. MD responds to a concerned ‘special educator’

  Restraining K-5 students (from 2/13/01, from n2tchin2001@yahoo.com)

  I am a special educator teaching behaviorally/emotionally disabled
  students…

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
Which means normal children not
appropriately parented, disciplined or taught. ADHD, most common of the
so-called Disruptive Behavior Disorders, given us, as they all are, as brain
diseases, is an absolute fraud]

  …in a K-1 self contained classroom.

  There are 3 classes in the BED…

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
What does BED mean?]

  … program at my school: K-1, 2nd-3rd, and 4th-5th. Coming from a treatment
  center for adolescents, I have been trained in PIC

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
What does this mean? ]

  and CPI

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
What does and CPI mean?].

  I have been at this elementary for 1 year and have seen more restraints
  than I did in the secure facility!!!

  Some teachers and "behavior management technicians" are so quick to put
  their hands on an angry kid.  Does any one have info, web sites...etc.
  regarding policies, methods and strategies for de-escalation, alternatives
  to restraint...?  Currently our unit is unable to get it together due to
  the variance in philosophies

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
Might this mean kind, humane, constructive things?]

  .  I work with too many "Nurse Ratchets" (if you know what I mean).
  Thanks for any help you can give me that would help educate this fumbling
  team!!!

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
What percent of these children are on one or more psychiatric drugs?
Add this to Ritalin and every psychiatric drug that comes along to chemically
restrain the children, how can there be any doubt this is a power trip; it is about
‘diagnosing’ and taking control of the brain of the child—of the child—and
of the family. Witness Tammy Kubiak in Buffalo, NY, right this minute, not
believing in their scam diagnoses for her son, not believing in their drugs for her
son—legal in the school, illegal on the street—is having being declared ‘unfit’ and is
losing her son to the school, CPS, and the court, that is, to the
government—and is threatened with loss of her remaining two children as well……"They came
for the Gypsies and I said nothing, they came for the Jews and I said nothing, and
then they came for me and no one was left." We are far to complacent here in
the US and fail to vote, and we are to complacent upon hearing stories like that of
Tammy Kubiak and fail to open our eyes, and what we fail to see is that all of
your children, and if not your children, your grandchildren and your nieces and
nephews…every one of them that goes to a public school (government) is
liable to be caught in their net of evil. ]
