Father of the Year

[mookiemookie]

I have so much respect for this man.

A Cherry Hill father has taken to the web to combat abusive behavior he says teachers displayed toward his autistic son.

Stuart Chaifetz, in a video posted to YouTube on Friday, said that he was told by school officials his son Akian, 10, had been hitting staff at Horace Mann Elementary School. He said Akian is a gentle child, and would not get violent without being provoked.

So he sent Akian to school wearing a recording device, and said what he heard on the tape later that night changed his life.

...

"It's not about money, it's about dignity," Chaifetz said in the video. "This is to reclaim my son's dignity. You owe it to him."
