Dax Vestal, a ten-year-old non-verbal boy with autism, faced abuse during his daily bus rides to school. Despite concerns raised by his mother, Jess Vestal, Littleton Public Schools (LPS) failed to take action, allowing the abuse to continue unchecked. Jess's persistence ultimately led to the discovery of horrifying footage showing Dax being mistreated by a paraprofessional. This revelation prompted Jess to reach out to other parents, leading to a collective effort to demand accountability and change from LPS. Now these parents are advocating for the safety and well-being of all children in the school system. This story serves as a call to action to ensure that no child suffers from abuse or negligence in their educational environment again. Join the fight for better standards and protection for our children.
