She's the perfect victim, Lexi's father said, because of her communication challenges. This has got to be every parent's worst nightmare. Reminds me of Lexi’s parents, from Autism the Musical.

It's awful enough to be assaulted by other students and have the school staff passively reinforce it, but I can't even imagine having to get treated that way from the staff. Especially since the sort of frustration of being in that situation would likely make me more self-injurious and defiant (as similar, minor-scale situations have shown to be true for me). I mean, really, people in this country throw a hissy fit over torture in places like Guantanimo Bay, when we are mistreating CHILDREN in our own borders! What a load of hypocrisy.
