For anyone with Facebook-Autistic child taken from home

Post Reply New Topic

You should go to this page and read this story. We as parents of autistic children should rally around this man and help him to recover his daughter. This is an absolute outrage.

That's crazy...is this in America?

welcome to the end result of red tape........a real tragity

If there is not a revolution in this country in the next 3 or 4 years, then it is definitely time to leave. The federal, state, and many local governments are running roughshod over peoples' rights, and they usually get away with it unscathed.

If the story is as they say it is, I would not blame someone if they went to a bunch of social workers' and judges homes' and killed them. This is EXACTLY what I would probably do if any of my children were yank from me without just cause.

This wasn't in the US. He lives in British Columbia.

I am quite familiar with this case. It's not that far from me at all. It's quite sad. There was extensive issues at the school for sweet, little Ayn in my understanding. I think they system clearly failed the family unit in it's attempt to help the child. I think that the intentions were there, but helping the child best should have involved assistance within the home. I just wish more information were available about this case. I will try and find more info on this and post. And trust me, there is a local outcry to this as well. But, not as much as I would have thought.

What bugs me most is that they are now drugging the child, from reports heavily. Of course her behavior is off the charts you just ripped her out of her home!

I hope everyone signed the petition...Bujuessa, please do keep us informed this is just so upsetting to me. Taking an autistic child away from a loving home and her parents is abuse! Drugging her so she is stoned out of her mind is abuse. They could have provided the father with in home care at the cost that of putting her into a psychiatric hospital and putting her on all this medication. If you listen to the radio interview with the Father he says that the Psychiatric hospital released her because they said they can not do anything for her but the Child Protection service wants her placed into another hospital. Also the father heard nothing about his daughter for 12 days.....can you imagine?? and then they called to ask if he could send a picture of himself because she was crying for him. Later they told him that she carries the picture around with her. He says the judicial system is slow but the service that "abducted" her does have the power to return her to her Father which is why the more pressure the better!

Im bumping this....I hope more people are helping to support this family! This could happen to anyone and that is really scary, as parents of autistic children we should not just sit around and let this go unchecked.

Can you post the story for those of us who hate facebook and wish to have nothing to do with it?

Nvm. Found it

This is disgusting.

Has anyone found some sort of contact number or email where we can petition against this abusive government action? Bloody hell, "Bolting" (kid escaping and running off) is a topic that has come up in these forums before, and is relatively common - and i know it happens with NT kids too.

The only thing events like this are going to do is make parents (of NTs and Autistics alike) to think twice about asking the police for help when their kids go missing. Not a good direction or message to send out.

Bloody hell, they won't even let him VISIT his daughter until the trial! a TRIAL!
That's ABSURD. He was never abusive to her (from all reports) so why the hell not let daddy come visit? Even hospitals have visiting hours, and there is absolutely no logical reason to deny him (or her) this small respite.

PLUS they are drugging her. Against all history of need. That pisses me off. There isn't a single drug in the whole wide world that doesn't have some sort of health impact - mental or physical - on the body. Often with long term consequences.

I hope dad sues them for drugging her. I really hope he does.

I didn't see the petition when I went there, where is it? Have they posted addresses for key officials to write to?

This case shows an incredible misunderstanding of autism, shocking misunderstanding, really. Even if there were problems in the home of the sort they seemed to be concerned about, this action was probably THE most damaging they could have taken for a child like this. &@@}%^|\ IDIOTS.

Update:
Given 75mg of Chlorpromazine (also known as Thorazine or Largactil) up to twice daily
It is known to cause tardive dyskinesia, which can be irreversible.
The recommended starting chlorpromazine dose for schizophrenia or mania in an adult is 10 mg three or four times daily or 25 mg two or three times a day.

In addition, she is being administered Risperdal (Risperidone).
It is associated with significant weight gain and metabolic problems, as well as tardive dyskinesia and neuroleptic malignant syndrome

Just read the article again. So the kid was missing for a couple of hours and then was found playing in a neighbor's yard? That's IT? I'm sure I did that a couple of times when I was little and no one ever dragged me off to a psych ward...

No Canada. Unfortunately Canada has a history of taking children from homes without any justification.

You might read the case of the Dionne quintuplets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionne_quintuplets

Granted, three of them later accused their father of molesting them but this was after they were returned to their family, during their teenage years.

In the US child protective services usually come out to a house multiple times before taking the children, and there are appeals processes.
