Electric Shock Devices Used on Students With Behavioral Issues Can t Be Banned, Court Rules

Share Photo: (Photo : PXFuel) The Court of Appeals has overturned the ban on using electric shock devices to manage students with intellectual disabilities and uncontrollable behavioral problems. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sought the ban in 2020, but the appeals court ruled that the controversial technique could remain in a recent 2-1 decision. In Canton, Massachusetts, Judge Rotenberg Education Center has been doing shock therapy to stop its students from harming themselves or from exhibiting aggressive behavior. The center is the only special school in the U.S. that still believes electric shock devices could help modify the behavior of kids as young as five years old or adults with underdeveloped intellectual abilities.
