A six-year-old boy with autism and Down syndrome was strapped into an infant’s high chair at a New South Wales primary school regularly over an eight-month period, his family allege, with the case now the subject of a complaint to the Australian Human Rights Commission.
Neville Williams’ aunt and guardian, Karla Bedford, said she first learned that the six-year-old was being physically restrained at Tingha public school in northern NSW after the school posted a photo of him in the chair on social media.
