U.N. investigating Judge Rotenberg Center’s Use of Electroshock of Kids as Torture
Powerful video of a Judge Rotenberg Center student shocked and restrained for hours continues to reverberate on Beacon Hill and beyond, with opponents of the treatment stepping up efforts to ban the shocks as the United Nations expert on torture says he’s investigating the school.
