Abuse in schools

This story should have shocked me:

GAO report: Special needs kids abused in schools

But really, it didn't. I have seen and heard enough about these kids lives to realize there are dark possibilities because they are SO vulnerable. I haven't read any follow up on this story yet, but there are a couple things I take from it so far:

1. If you are uncomfortable with a situation involving your child, follow your gut, even if others think you are nuts.

2. Pay attention, stay involved...even though it all gets exhausting. Ask someone else to attend the next IEP or other meeting with you so you don't have to worry about missing something.

3. Love your babies everyday!
