Here's something that might surprise you: electroshock therapy is being used as a form of behavior control for special needs children. Ask President Obama to immediately outlaw the practice of eletroshock therapy

Thank you so much for sharing! Signed, noted, recommended, etc. In my comments on the petition I noted that if this had happened to a 'normal' child, there would have been a massive uproar! Special needs children need our protection from cruel and unusual practices like this.
