My parents both work at places that handle adults and children with behavioral and developmental issues. Sometimes restraints are absolutely necessary to keep from hurting others or themselves. But there are specific tactics and protocols for it, and they would never be put in a moving vehicle with unknown contacts like this.

Behavior issues or not, this is abuse! Keep your baby at home. Call in resources, and look for help. Sue them for child neglect, assault, unlawful restraining, failure to use safety seat belts while transporting, physical and emotional distress and anything else!

I have autistic twins so my crash out would be over top! Prayers and hugs. I hope he’s ok.

Holy fuck girl, my heart is racing … you need to contact the news stations, you need to file a police report… this is negligent, if you did this cps would be at your door ready to take him!!!! I’m not saying you haven’t done these things but omg I’m lost for words.. I’m so so sorry you and your baby have gone through this… if he has behavioral issues this is only going to scar him and make them worse!! What were they thinking?? I’m sick to my stomach

What the hell!!! Not my nephew!! WHATS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE, kids aren’t prisoners and if you can’t deal with behaviors something they should be trained to do!!! Say that and call mom!!! THE RAGE THIS SENDS ME IN AND WOULD SEND ME !! He’s too sweet of a kid this breaks my heart for you and lil man!!!im praying for yall during this my goodness HES A BABY NOT A PRISONER!!!! Absolutely sickening!!!!!!! I hope they all get what’s coming to them gosh this world our babies live in is so scary AWFUL!

Behavioral issues or not this is literally insane omg . I’d go to jail over this if I saw my son tied up like a criminal . I am SO SORRY this happened to your baby !!! There is 0 justification for this ! This is literally neglect ! Shame on this school !!! SUE SUE SUE

treating a child like some fugitive/prisoner is sickening. this just broke my heart so bad

Ignorant asf and disgusting. He’s so sweet didn’t deserve to be treated that way, not to mention how traumatic & unsafe it was for them to be transporting him in those types of conditions what if they would’ve wrecked with him back there like that??? Like wtf? Knowing if it was ever that serious they could’ve asked you or someone to come and pick him up…. No child can be THAT BAD for this to be done to them, I’m glad you have this evidence because this sadly probably isn’t the first time they have done this and it’s probably swept under the rug. So sad I hope poor baby can heal from this.

Oh my god!!! I seen this earlier on my feed and just scrolled past because I didn’t think it was real but just reading it and it’s your son my heart breaks for you. Never is that okay and they absolutely need to be held accountable!!! Also your child’s safety was at risk riding with no seatbelt and just thrown in the van. Sue tf out of them. I am disgusted!

this is actually sick, behavior issues or not he's a CHILD!! poor zay, i pray that he gets thru this & isn't scarred & traumatized for life. they will get what's coming to them!!!

He’s such a sweetheart too. That’s sickening. I pray he gets through this in one piece and gets justice for that bs. doing that alone is crazy but also in a transportation vehicle?? Yeah fight em

WCPO 9 , Sheree Paolello WLWT , FOX19 , WLWT

What the f???? I hope you get a settlement and people fired over this. I hope someone does time and fines. I don’t have any lawyers but there might be a Facebook group for it, someone might even take this on free until you’re paid out. Disgusting.

Hell nah it’ll take Jesus and all his disciples to get me off her ass!

This is absolutely RIDICULOUS!! If the situation was THAT severe, they should've called YOU to come get him.. I don't understand people, I truly don't I'm so sorry!

this is so sickening girl i cant believe they would do that no matter the circumstances this is terrible!

Who in the right mind thinks this is okay..

Uhhh wtf ??? Please sue them !

You better than my mama she would’ve lay her hands on the mofo who tied him

The rage this gives me for you! This should be blasted on every news channel this is not okay I’m so sorry he went through that

omg i’m so sorry this TERRIBLE!!! wtf. i hope these people get exactly what they deserve!
