As awful as what happened was, you know what this article doesn’t discuss? Why people are sending their disabled kids to a fucking boarding school in the first place. And then show what loving parents this kid has in the photos.

The investigation revealed how Shrub Oak has not sought or obtained approval from New York to operate as a special education school, which means it largely escapes oversight by education authorities and other state officials. It is also not a licensed residential facility. Though private, the school is mostly funded with public money through contracts with school districts across the country that send students there, then sometimes struggle to monitor residents’ progress or wellbeing.

This is just horrifying.

It’s sickening that this is a for-profit school siphoning tax money only to abandon the people depending on them. I worry that if the awarded damages aren’t enough or they settle, this lawsuit will just be the cost of doing business and nothing will change. These parents drove across the country to visit their son, not every family can or wants to do the same. Who knows what else is going on behind closed doors.

And they don’t have any oversight or registration as a boarding school or a special needs school? How the fuck is this legal?

"Vision loss" sounds so passive. They knew he had a problem with clawing at his eyes, told his parents they could handle that, then let him (not quite literally, but probably would have gotten there if not for parental intervention) claw his own eyes out.
