With over 7000 people following our Facebook page, a number of connections have been made between Special Defenders, volunteer advocates/attorneys and families that have children with special needs.
In one extreme situation, George from Georgia, who is a terrific dad, was arrested and charged as a terrorist. George Phillips was simply speaking out to protect his 7-year-old son Ian who has autism, from teachers who wanted to paddle him and deny him the right kind of education.
With the help of Special Defender Robin Lucas, who drove across Georgia to be their advocate, Ian will get what he needs and with any luck the charges against George will be dropped. Complaints will be filed with The US Department of Justice or Education for violations of Ian's civil rights.

Thank you,
