A shuttered Northern California private school and three of its former employees are indicted on involuntary manslaughter charges following the 2018 death of a 13-year-old boy with autism.

An El Dorado County grand jury indicted Staranne Meyers, who was the principal of Guiding Hands School, Kimberly Wohlwend, a special education teacher, and Cindy Keller, the executive director and site administrator.

They were each indicted on one felony count of involuntary manslaughter in connection to the November 2018 death of Max Benson, a student at the school. Guiding Hands School, Inc., the entity which owned and operated the school, was also indicted. Attorney information was not available and the former staff members could not be reached Wednesday at phone numbers listed for them.

The defendants pleaded not guilty, according to a spokesperson for the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office.The California Department of Education said the staff at the school used"an amount of force which is not reasonable and necessary under the circumstances," the newspaper reported. The district attorney previously said that the teen's death was a result of him being restrained.

Guiding Hands School, which served students with disabilities, was suspended by the state Department of Education in 2018 and later closed.

When will our media outlets reverse course and start doing real investigative journalism not connected to politics or the educational business empire complex. Parents by the way should read up on just where journalist rise from & how the connections are right back to ed system.

My son was in the 11th grade, 17 and six days away from turning 18. He is now 20 and will be 21 in March of 2023. Supposedly federal law protects his education till age of 21. His district stopped that at 17. Thats only the beginning of the educational harm he has endured.

I can show you how we were met with no concern and loss of career spinned us right into financial and housing crisis. We had to move back to KY a place we left because services were non existent in 20113. Now here we are back starting over.

I need access to anyone who can help my son and past, present and future students with disabilities at that district. I did not chose this and can not unsee what I have saw. Where is the justice, where is the help. I can show you how I attempted to find that help in Washington.

I was a paraeducator who put students first and spoke up when others chose not to and stayed silent. I have a 25lb box of what I believe is egregious violations to so many including my son and I. But it is King County, Seattle area, ring a bell.

Read my twitter feed. I have attempted three different times, the last with Office of Civil Rights Seattle. It took moving out of state to KY to write complaint. All I can say is there is no equitable justice in our country. Retaliation can continue even after you resign.
