Why This Matters
Rob has chosen to use his voice and story to attract public attention for a an issue directly addressed in the video:
The legality of physical punishments in schools, including “restraining” – a practice where teachers or aids crush and suffocate minors under the guise of “calming them down.” Multiple adults often “restrain” one child at a time, leading to loss of airflow and permanent physical damage in children from a young age. Rob himself experienced this kind of abuse from grade school onward.
“Restraining” in schools has been proven deadly: two recent deaths as a result of restraining in schools include Max Benson, 13, and Cornelius Fredericks, 16. Both lost the ability to breathe while being restrained by personnel in school.
