Crestwood, Kentucky:

An Oldham County mother has filed a complaint with the state after learning that Crestwood Elementary officials put her 8-year-old autistic son in a small, empty room nearly 80 times last fall because of his behavior -- sometimes locking him in.

There's so much in the article to be mad about. By the time I finished reading it, I got the sense that the argument was centered around whether or not this "time-out room" had a lock on it and whether or not it was well-lit and carpeted. Maybe I'm crazy, but shouldn't the argument be about why this school has something called a "time-out room" in the first place?
