Lets hope that the 30 year battle to end this nightmare is coming to a successful conclusion. But until it happens the fear that the Rotenberg Center somehow will find a way to keep on torturing kids will be great.

For that matter, electroshock therapy should be banned outright for anyone, as the risks, at least when Dr. Oz breached the subject some time ago on his show with both Dr. Drew Pinsky and Dr. Amen, outweigh the benefits.

You mean ECT?

ECT has benefits when everything else fails. It's not torture despite the popular media representation.

This is as opposed to the use of electric shocks at Judge Rotenberg Center to torture children.
