It is sad and sickening to me that so many police officers and public school officials are allowed to beat, harm, torture, use excessive force on, smother, and even sometimes murder children. There are more and more cases all the time of shit like this happening.
One thing that really saddens me is the fact that they seemingly mostly target all the kids who have autism or show signs of having autism, other behavioral or emotional disorders, or just "aren't like the rest." This sort of power trip that these people have over these children is just disgusting! And the fact that the "law" isn't doing much to prevent these children from being abused, mistreated, and even killed by teachers and police officers is even more atrocious. Some of these acts of harm are all in the means of "subduing," "controlling," and "calming" the child. But, do you think that acts of power and harm against a child is going to make them calm? Of course not! Only someone who is really stupid, Ok with harming children, and possibly a psychopath would think that!
I don't care if a child is acting up. How can you possibly think it is ok to shove them into duffle bags, suffocate them, shove them around, throw them to the ground, hold them against their will, throw them in "seclusion chambers," shock them with tasers, etc.? How can you possibly see this as "therapeutic" or a "fit punishment" for ANYTHING that a child would want to do or is capable of doing?!
Here is one link to a webpage containing a peek at some of the things that I am talking about in this post:

And that's not even all of the horrific, disgusting things going on in public schools behind the backs of these children's parents! Not all of these disgusting acts of harm towards children are done simply to "subdue" them and "quiet" or "calm" them. Some are just done for God knows what reason! Take this guy for example: His name is Mark Berndt. He apparently committed his actions, not as a mean to subdue or calm a child, but as... Well, who the Hell knows WHY he did what he did?! This sicko (who happens to be a school teacher, a man that is put in charge of teaching and taking care of children for a good chunk of the day, every damned school day) apparently had a thing for feeding his students his own semen. He also liked to blindfold them and do God knows what other sick, horrific things to these children! Link to the article here:

It disgusts me, enrages me, and saddens me to no end that these innocent, helpless children would be treated this way by the people who are in charge of taking care of them and being their teachers, their guiders, their watchers. People who the children (and parents of the children) are supposed to be able to trust!
I want to close this blog post with another article and video on an example of mistreatment and unnecessary force being dished out in a public school, but it is more surrounding a story of a parent being mistreated in a public school, rather than the child. Of course this incident was bad for the children involved as well, as the school was more or less needlessly holding the children for ransom, causing them to cry and worry, when all they wanted to do was go home with their dad. The only reason behind it that was clearly given was because the father didn't want to sign some waiver to allow the children to leave the school premises without him. A legit reason? I think not!

They decided to needlessly haul the father off to jail and continue to hold his young, special needs children at the school. The fact that the administrations lady or principal (or whoever she is) could just sit there on her fat ass and act like nothing was happening, while this event was taking place right freaking next to her... This astounds me!
If you choose to homeschool your children or put them/leave them in public school, that is up to you. But, me personally? After reading and watching some of the horrible shit that goes on in public schools, I kind of am less inclined to have my children public schooled!
Be aware and be careful. That is all I'm saying! People who you think you can trust with your children, for many hours a day, to take care of them, watch them, protect them, teach them, and whatever else, aren't always as trustworthy as they let on or should be!

P.S. I'm sure that not every example of children being mistreated in public schools to ever occur in the history of mankind is mentioned in this post! There are many more incidences that we don't even know about yet!
