Anna Moore

"These aren't isolated incidents. This is an epidemic," says Port St. Lucie, Florida parent, Anna Moore. Her then 7-year-old, autistic, son Isaiah was mistreated and restrained by staff at his school in 2007.  Rallying support from Rep. Dorothy Hukill and House Bill 81, (Use, Prevention and Reduction of Restraint and Seclusion) Ms. Moore, along with several other like-minded parent-adovcates have banded together and are determined to bring about change.

"We can all see some of the physical harm, but what we can't see are the emotional scars. These children have been forever changed inside. This must stop. Schools need to be held accountable!"
