Closed Ban use of isolation booths in schools

Closed on

Ban the use of isolation booths as punishment in all schools. It’s barbaric and cruel, especially to those on the autistic spectrum.

My son is suffering terribly as a result of this.

Children can suffer mental health issues due to this disgusting punishment... especially those on the Autistic spectrum..

It's inhumane to shut a child away in an isolation booth for a day at a time with little outside contact and limited toilet breaks, as some schools have done.

This needs to stop now.
