WELCOME TO RHODE ISLAND FAMILIES AGAINST RESTRAINT AND SECLUSION

The abuse of children at the hands of school personnel has risen over the last two decades and the nation is outraged. The children most likely to be abused are children with disabilities. Children who are poor and homeless are not excluded from the abuse.

The abuse presents itself in various forms -restraints, seclusion, suffocation, and sometimes even death. Last year, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigation found hundreds of allegations that children have been abused and some have died as a result of the misuses of restraints and seclusion in public and private schools, often by untrained staff. United States representatives George Miller and Cathy McMorris Rodgers introduced the "Preventing Harmful Restraint and Seclusion in School Act" (HR 4247) and senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut introduced it's sister bill, (S. 2860). This legislation is the first national effort to address the problem and ensure the safety of students and school staff.

The abuse of a child in school can easily escalate into retaliation against the parent(s), caretaker(s), or advocate. Retaliation can include the denial educational services, the denial of a child to attend school, an illegal eviction from your residence, neglect and abuse charges filed against you by the school, a loss of employment, removal of the child from the caretaker by child protective services, false charges against the parent, caregiver, or advocate that can lead to an arrest, etc.

We must stop asking, "What are they (everyone else) going to do about the abuse of our nation's children?" While the rest of America sits blind, not necessarily their fault, they are under the assumption that their tax dollars are paying for an education without abuse, restraints, seclusion, or retaliation. American citizens believe that when they send their children to school, they will be safe, not abused or killed by school personnel.

It is our belief that all children are entitled to a free, appropriate, and SAFE education in the public and private school system, as specified under IDEA. We need your support in effecting change within the system.

Thank you!

NEED A JOB? 

COMMITTED MURDER?  RAPE?  ROBBERY?  BATTERY?  ASSAULT? ARSON? PEDOPHILE? INTEREST IN PORNOGRAPHY?.............IN ANOTHER STATE?

IT’S O.K!!!!   COME TO RHODE ISLAND.  STATEWIDE-FIRST STUDENT AND OCEAN STATE TRANSIT WILL HIRE YOU!!

WORK FOR THE RHODE ISLAND DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (R.I.D.E): STATEWIDE-FIRST STUDENT & OCEAN STATE TRANSIT- TRANSPAR SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.

CALL NOW: 401-222-5024 (R.I.D.E-STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION)

NATIONAL BCI CHECKS are not required in Rhode Island to secure a position as a bus driver, bus monitor, or bus aide.  What this means is that the person driving your child’s school bus or your child’s monitor or aide could have committed murder, rape, battery, assault, arson, or other crime in another state; be a pedophile or have an interest in pornography.  Statewide-First Student does not require National BCI checks during the hiring process and due to the costs refuses to perform a complete background check.  The Rhode Island General Assembly initiated the Statewide-First Student Transportation System and the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) oversees it.  The most important focus of the General Assembly and RIDE was saving money due to limited funding; both failed to give consideration to the protection of our children.  State Law Makers and School Districts need to realize that school begins with the school bus and bus personnel should be required to undergo vigorous background checks and training as personnel working within school buildings.  In order to protect our children on school buses, we need- Comprehensive and Specific Training of bus personnel, National BCI checks, and video cameras.

Call or write your State Law Makers (Representatives, Senators,....)and encourage them to support Bills that make National BCI checks a requirement to hiring school bus personnel; that support video cameras on school buses; and that require comprehensive and specific training of all bus personnel.

“YOUR CHILD’S LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.”

(This is not an actual advertisement, but the facts are true and without safeguards in place, our children will continue to ride unsafe school buses.)
