Mom says school put her autistic son “in a box”

WAUPUN — It’s a room built for solitary confinement, but it’s not a cell at Waupun State Prison. It’s a ‘time out’ area at Rock River School, just a few blocks away.

“It`s a very common thing to have in public schools,” Donald Childs, Superintendent of the Waupun Area School District said.

Teachers call it the ‘Quiet Room.’ The mother of an autistic child calls it ‘the box.’

“It’s a boxed roof. It’s an enclosed box,” Mandy Rennhack said. “It’s not a box. It is a room,” Childs counters.

It’s a room that Childs says is vital for calming children down who are out of control, but the superintendent was hardly eager to have FOX6 News show it to viewers.  When FOX6 Investigators asked to see the room, the superintendent flatly answered, “No.”

Dozens of animals removed from Fond du Lac County property

TOWN OF FRIENDSHIP — Fond du Lac County officials removed dozens of animals in various stages of starvation from a home in the Town of Friendship Thursday, May 10th. Some of the animals discovered on the property along Chestnut Rd. were already dead.

In all, officials removed 65 dogs and 50 goats from the property. The Fond du Lac Humane Society euthanized two dogs that could not be saved.

Investigators say they found the property because of a wayward calf. It had strayed onto Highway 45 near the Winnebago County line late Wednesday night, May 9th. A deputy took the calf to the property to determine if it belonged there. The deputy discovered a 10-year-old boy was the only person in the home. He also found dead goats at the farm and more than 60 dogs scattered around the property.

Falk concedes Democratic primary for governor to Barrett

MADISON (AP) — Former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk says she will join with Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to work for his victory over Republican Gov. Scott Walker in four short weeks.

She asked her supporters Tuesday to also get behind Barrett, who won the primary.

Falk was the first Democrat to get into the recall race and racked up support of major unions and other groups before Barrett got in the race on March 30.

But polls showed Barrett was the favored candidate even before he joined the race.

Falk says the next four weeks may be the most important in Wisconsin history.

Juneau considers reconstruction of Mill Street

JUNEAU — As Sensient Flavors proceeds with plans to build a new yeast drier at the south end of South Mill Street, a $504,000 state grant may help improve South Mill Street itself.

Mike Laue, team leader for MSA Professional Services, of Beaver Dam, told the Juneau Utility Commission Monday night the grant, which is “overseen” by the state department of transportation, is the result of the city’s earlier application for $600,000.

“This comes from the gas tax paid at the pump and every two years it’s distributed,” Laue said.

Upgrades on South Mill Street are listed on the Juneau City Council agenda Tuesday. The council is slated to discuss a proposal to extend the project capabilities of Juneau Tax Incremental Finance District 2 to improve infrastructure elsewhere in the city... Read More
