My wife who is a registered Nurse and I witnessed screaming,yelling, and verbal abuse used against a boy who is 6 years of age and who has had 4 brain hemorrages, and has Epilepsy Through out august2007 to December 2007 By a Special needs teachers aide. This was witnessed by many others. We reported it to the school system and they have denied the allegations and said yelling or screaming does not constitute abuse. There also was also some other forms of abuse witnessned by us. O ne occassion My wife observed the 6 year old being verbally abused, he started to salivate a lot, the teachers aide put her finger into his mouth and pulled his jaw forward and scream don't pinch me. My wife picked up the boy wiping the excess salivation, amd proceeded to calm the boy down, thus controling the situation and causing the boy to come back to a normal state of being. We have been ostrichsized for being a whistle blower,given limited acces to our down syndromes daughters shhool,and black balled. Although the Sheriffs report clearly states that yelling and screaming did occur it is not considered abuse. Our daughte subsequently was abused by the same teachers aide who was never transferred physically. All though a forensic interview of my daughter showed discovery nothing was done with that. My Daughter started to urinate and deficate shortly after her abuse in her clothing,We Brought her to Dr. Guy Crawforf to make sure that she was not sick.Keep in mind my Daughter had been potty trained for 3 1/2 years. The Doctor ran ervy test and ruled out any medical problems, but wrote in my daughts medical records that it was directly a proble she had at school. within a week of being out of school for a week during summer break, the urination and defication in her pantsstopped. Please let me know hoe screaming and yelling affects an Epileptic child with 4 brain hemorages and if it is indeed child abuse.God Bless, Jack,And Maria Scholnick.

Last summer, you may remember that the report Wasted money, wasted lives was published. It looked at the human and economic costs of epilepsy in England, and condemned the continued government failure to meet the needs of people living with the condition.
