The mother of a seven-year-old boy in
Phoenix, Arizona secretly videotaped the padded room in her son's school
after he had been left there for the better part of a school day. She
says she later learned he had been held in the room 17 times – though
the school disputes that number, saying he was there three times.
"I was disgusted," said Leslie Noyes, the boy's mother. "There was one
time that I know he was placed in the room a little after 10 a.m. He was
there until the school day ended at 3:30 p.m. They brought him lunch in
there. He ate it on the floor. He had urinated on the floor. They
wouldn't let him out to use the bathroom."
