Mother furious after discovering school's plan to put son with autism's desk in bathroom
BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- A woman is furious with the Bellingham School District because of how she says they treated her son.
Danielle Goodwyn says her 11-year-old son Lucas has special needs and requires a quiet learning environment. She says she received a shock this week when she went into her son's classroom at Whatcom Middle School.
"The teacher informed us that he would be studying in the bathroom," she said.
In a photo that Goodwyn took, a desk is seen sitting over the toilet, and a chair is next to the sink.
"And a napping mat, so he was expected to use that mat to sleep on the bathroom floor," she said.
Goodwyn tells Q13 News that Lucas has autism and loud sounds are a trigger for him.

WTF? You don't treat any child that way special needs or not.
