Abused, thrown on the ground, and caged, new graphic footage released by the BBC shocks parents and others.
Disturbing CCTV footage from Whitefield School in northeast London reveals the harrowing abuse of autistic children confined in “calming rooms” between 2014 and 2017.
The videos, obtained by the BBC, show vulnerable children being shoved, restrained by the neck, and left sitting in vomit—scenes one expert likened to “torture.”
Parents Shocked
Parents, who were initially unaware of the extent of the trauma, describe their heartbreak after viewing the videos.
“You wouldn’t even treat a dog like that,” said one devastated mother.
Another parent asks “how did this happen without anyone being held accountable?”.
The total 500-hour CCTV footage obtained by the BBC, hours of footage only depicts abuse, some too graphic to show.
Families of those poor kids are now demanding answers from the authorities and urging for more investigation into the matter.
