Deaf Services - Cyber Bullying Awareness

VIDEO [CC] - Educating Deaf kids about the cyberbullying awareness in ASL.



SafePlace the Deaf Services staff are culturally Deaf and fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), shares the cyberbullying awareness video. Cyberbullying is bullying for the 21st century, using email, text messages and the internet.



Cyberbullying is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatend, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologries or mobile phones.





There are two kinds of cyberbullying, direct attacks - messages sent to kids directly and cyberbullying by proxy using others to help cyberbullying the victim, either with or without the accomplice's knowledge.



Educating the Deaf kids about the consequences losing their ISP or IM accounts helps. When schools try and get involved by discipling the student for cyberbullying actions that took place off-campus and outside of school hours, they are often sued for exceeding their authority and violating the student's free speech right.

Deaf Woman Brutally Beaten and Robbed

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf woman attacked in broad daylight in Austin, Texas.



KVUE AUSTIN - Austin police are looking for four teenagers, three males and one female, who they say followed and punched a Deaf woman, and stole her purse in North Austin, Texas.



Police said the woman was walking on Redlands Street in the Brentwood neighborhood at around 1:20 p.m. Monday when she noticed a Hispanic teen wearing a bandana over his face following her. She told police she kept an eye on the teen because of his covered face.



The teen stopped to talk to a car and the victim lost sight of him. Police said shortly afterward, the same teen and three others in a tan four-door sedan cut off the victim.



"At that time, the same suspect displayed a knife. Then she was struck and punched to the ground, she fell to the ground and the Hispanic female stole her purse," said Austin Police Robbery Sgt. Will White.







White said the teens took off in the same car. That's when Joanna Fried heard banging on her door.



"She was banging on my door and pushing to get in which was scary," Fried said. "Frantic, like really really crying. There was blood on her hands and her face was swollen, and she realized she was scratched up on her leg. It was really hard to understand what she was saying."



Fried said she then called 911 and kept the victim at her house until EMS and police arrived. Fried said she called the victim's ex-husband and explained what happened.



Russell West, director of support operations at the Texas School for the Deaf, said anytime a member of the Deaf community is the victim of a crime, they often don't know their rights. West said Deaf victims need to ask for interpreters... Read more: http://kvue.com/story/news/crime/2015/07/21/austin-police-say-deaf-woman-attacked-in-broad-daylight/

Deaf Teens The Jackass Wannabes

VIDEO: A hilarious short movie of Deaf teens performing the Jackass wannabes.





Jackass is an American reality series, originally shown on MTV from 2000 to 2002, featuring people performing various dangerous, crude, self-injuring stunts and pranks.



The video show has a bunch of funny skits, but idiotic pranks with lack of sense of humor. Perhaps, there is not one moment where you stop laughing at a bunch of Deaf teens wannabes. Its a worthwhile to watch, though.

Petition | Stop Moving Deaf To Mainstream Schools

Campaign: Stop moving Deaf children to Mainstream Schools, Keep and Open more Deaf Schools.





Petition by change.org - More Deaf Schools has been closed in last few decades which means more parents of Deaf children have very fewer choices. One or two limited choices available which forced the parents to make decision to move their children to Mainstream Schools.



It costs the Government MORE money to spend money on BSL CSWs or BSL interpreters and all extra unnecessary support for few Deaf pupils at Mainstream Schools.



It was said that many Deaf children losing their Deaf identities including found this is a big barrier to access to Deaf Culture and to Sign Language.



Many Deaf people become Qualified Teachers NOW!! More Deaf people are qualified in specialist subjects and they can teach at Deaf Schools.



"The World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) promotes and safeguards the right of all Deaf people to quality education, starting at birth and throughout life. As for all learners, Deaf children have the same right to education and full access to quality education."



WFD then says "Full inclusion for a Deaf learner means a totally supportive, signing and student-centred environment. This permits the learner to develop to his/her full educational, social and emotional potential. This is stated also in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities".



"Otherwise, inclusion as a simple placement in a regular school without meaningful interaction with classmates and professionals at all times is tantamount to exclusion of the Deaf learner from education and society. In such environments, the Deaf child is physically present but may be mentally and socially absent."



Deaf children should not experience mentally and socially absent, as they should easily access to high quality of education via Deaf teachers or Teachers who hold high level of sign language communication.



We are asking the Government to change the current policy of mainstream schools and adopt a language policy to ensure to protect Deaf Schools, and find ways to reopen more Deaf Schools.



See WFD recommendations of the Government to follow UN Convention on the Rights on the Persons with Disabilities http://wfdeaf.org/databank/policies/education-rights-for-deaf-children. Sign this petition - HERE
