Justice for Sheldon's Family ( Teenager with Down syndrome left at Grady Hospital )

The Issue

Sheldon's mother was living in a hotel with 4 children, one of whom is Severely Disabled ( Non Verbal Down Syndrome ). We do not know her side of the story but we do know she took him to Grady Hospital and walked with him until he was later found alone in the hospital. Sheldon was malnourished and unable to communicate.    He may have food aversions or they may have no food to eat. This mother needs help and services provided to her, not to be charged and jailed. I will provide further statistics and information but let's get these signatures going to  bring out support for this Mother and her family. Anyone with a special needs child knows HOW DIFFICULT these situations can be and we need to rally and support this Mother. This is our Legacy. She did not get the help she needed before she made this decision. We need to HELP HER, NOW!
