Ten families are suing a London special school after shocking footage revealed autistic children being locked in padded rooms, abused, and left alone in unsanitary conditions between 2014 and 2017 — with no charges ever filed despite a police investigation. Now under new management, the school claims past failures offer “important learning,” but families say the treatment was “barbaric” and constitutes human rights violations. Leaked footage shows children shoved, thrown, and confined for hours — one boy appears in over 55 hours of recordings. A council review found restraint and seclusion had become routine, normalizing mistreatment. Similar abuses have been reported nationwide, despite new legal requirements to record incidents. Families say nothing has changed to stop this from happening again, while experts demand urgent government action to prevent future harm.
