CHERRY HILL, N.J. (AP) - Teachers hurled insults like "bastard,"
"tard," "damn dumb" and "a hippo in a ballerina suit." A bus driver
threatened to slap one child, while a bus monitor told another, "Shut
up, you little dog."
They were all special needs students, and their parents all learned
about the verbal abuse the same way _ by planting audio recorders on
them before sending them off to school.
In cases around the country, suspicious parents have been taking
advantage of convenient, inexpensive technology to tell them what
children, because of their disabilities, are not able to express on
their own. It's a practice that can help expose abuses, but it comes
with some dangers.
