Keeping All Students Safe Act Puts Spotlight On Texas School Child Abu
Posted on Mar 21, 2010
A new federal law has been proposed that would strive to keep children safe from abuse while at school has many Texas lawmakers and safety advocates wondering if the law is needed and whether it would be effective. While some in Dallas believe that the Keeping All Students Safe Act would reduce child abuse at daycares and schools, other believe that the law is a meaningless piece of legislation designed to make us feel better – but that would not be effective.
The details of the bill include a restriction on using restraints on students during the school day – a measure that reminds many in Dallas of the school child abuse scandal in which a 14-year-old student was suffocated by a teacher using a restraint.
The bill hopes to protect children with disabilities who are often abused or neglected because they require so much patience and care. Others believe the bill will also stop daycare abuse of children not old enough to report problems. Twenty-three states already have laws that protect children from solitary confinement, physical restraints, and other types of inappropriate actions. One Texas representative, however, believes that these laws are common sense and that laws that specifically outlaw abusive action are repetitive and unneeded.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) conducted research that showed that hundreds of school children and children in daycare have suffered harmful abuse over the last few decades because of inappropriate disciplinary methods.
