TW: death of a child, violence, restraints and seclusion

In November 2018, 13-year-old Max Benson died due to violence he experienced while being restrained in school.

Last week, charges were announced against the three school employees who had been involved and the school.

Tomorrow, November 17, his parents and the International Coalition Against Restraint and Seclusion will be holding a vigil in honour of Max, and ask that people around the world do the same.
