An 8-year-old autistic boy in Fort Covington, NY, was placed in a wooden “timeout” box at school—without his mother’s knowledge or consent. The shock came when his mom, Rhonda Garrow, discovered the practice through a Facebook post, not from the school itself. She’s now suing the Salmon River Central School District, demanding accountability and justice. The school claims it was part of a behavioral plan, but Rhonda says she never agreed to it. After the incident, key staff were put on leave and the boxes removed. How should schools handle behavioral challenges, and where’s the line between intervention and harm? #Health #BodyHealth #AutismAwareness
