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!

Montana Jacobowitz new music video "Ask Me Why I Cry" featuring Mary Halsey aka Missy Elliott's "Funky White Sista" (Right with Missy Elliott and Ellen Degeneres) tells and shows actual videotape footage of events that occurred in Montana's and her family's life while pursuing an education in the state of Rhode Island.  The video introduces her family beginning with her dad, Irwin Jacobowitz, a Vietnam Veteran, who discuss veteran issues and the cover up that has kept his son, Arizona Jacobowitz out of school in Rhode Island for 6 years.  He explains that the cover up began when Arizona was assaulted on his Special Needs First Student, Inc. School Bus on October 7, 2013 by his one to one aide, James Caton.  Montana's brother, Dakota, discusses how he was told that he would never become anything.  Montana's mom speaks about being assaulted by the Vice Principal of Barrington High School, Edward Daft, assault by TSA at BWI Airport, and the illegal eviction by the Barrington Police Dept.  Montana's brother, Arizona, tells about wanting friends, math, gym, lunch, and a teacher.  Montana's video gives a feeling of realness by introducing actual video footage.  Mary Halsey known as "Funky White Sista" portrayed the psychologist in this great work of art that is not just a video, but a musical masterpiece that touches on important social issues (bullying, assault, denial of education, illegal evictions, Vietnam veterans, autism, etc.) that many experience but lack a voice in which to express it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfpVF0ycj0I
