To Whom It May Concern:

My daughter April Penny has been put in this program so that she may receive the help she needs and so far she has been getting it. Sometimes she does have to be put in restraint because of her behavior and it hasn’t effected her negatively in anyway but has helped her. To my knowledge, this is the only program that will accept my daughter and due to her behavior I am unable to care for her myself I think it is important that she stays in tins program until it’s her time to leave so that she may continue to receive the help that she needs. Again, I think you should not close the JRC program because it’s the best place for my child and others.

Sincerely yours,

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Willie Mae Bryant and I am writing to you concerning my seventeen year old granddaughter, Daniqua Bryant. She is a student at the Judge Rotenberg Center, a private school in Canton, Massachusetts. It is not practical and nearly impossible for me to tell my story in a few short sentences, however, I will be as brief as possible.

Daniqua’s behavior problems began when she was young. Since the age of seven, my granddaughter has been in nine different facilities including three state hospitals. She has been prescribed more than thirty different psychotropic medications. I can’t even describe the numerous side effects she suffered from being medicated. In each of these facilities medication was always the answer; however, in Daniqua’s case, the medication failed to help.

Daniqua’s behavior continued to worsen each year (as she got older). Prior to her enrollment at the Judge Rotenberg Center, she had broken both of her arms as result of her out of control behavior, jumped from a moving vehicle that was traveling between thirty-five and forty miles per hour (broken jaw was the result), and assaulted her teacher. Daniqua was making no progress in school and would often challenge her teachers. When home, Daniqua would be uncooperative and refuse to comply with any limits that were set. In August of 2004, Daniqua was admitted to Kids Peace. During her stay at Kids Peace, Daniqua succeeded in injuring a staff member after she fashioned a makeshift weapon. She had taken two metal balls and placed them inside of a sock, swinging it around at people. They soon realized they could not manage her.

Since Daniqua was admitted to the Judge Rotenberg Center her progress has been steady. I am proud of her accomplishments. Her reading has improved and I finally feel like she is getting an education. I thank God each and every day for the help the Judge Rotenberg Center has given Daniqua. Every other placement simply wanted to sedate my granddaughter. Daniqua was on heavily medicated when she was admitted to JRC, including Thorazine. As I write this letter, Daniqua is not on any psychotropic medication. It is clear to me that she never benefited from it.

In my opinion, prescribing a child various medications is similar to the other treatment options offered at JRC. The Graduated Electronic Decelerator (GED) used at JRC is not cruel or inhumane; rather, it’s an option to be explored when nothing else works. One could argue that sedating kids is cruel and abusive. Please note that my granddaughter does not require the use of the GED, though she is in need of a structured environment, which JRC has provided.

Sincerely,

MEAT PIES!! !!

Ready or not, here I come

Mmm. Meat Pi. 3.14159....

Happy Pie Day!

Hey!

Whatcha doin'?

Nellie Lovett: It's fop. Finest in the shop. Or we have some shepherd's pie peppered with actual shepherd on top! And I've just begun - that's a politician so oily it's served with a doily, not one.
Sweeney Todd: Put it on a bun. Well, you never know if it's going to run!

Baseball, apple Pi, hotdogs... Chevrolet!!

"American Pi"! !!

Patience is its own reward.

(BTW, I just made "Vetern" status with this post.)

Yay me!

Creepy daddy long legs.

They edit the pictures of some of the Judge Rotenberg Center group homes so that the floor looks uneven and cool. In a picture captioned "Keith talks to his parents on a videophone" or something similar, it looks like he's looking at a photograph pasted onto the videophone. In a video made by the school talking about how students are given an "unhealthy" option for lunch as well as a healthy option, you can tell they're filming a picture of a slice of pizza, not a slice of pizza. Wierd.

I just got a birthday present. And to think yesterday I made him go swimming with me in 50 degree water.
I like pie.
