Who hurt my son....?organizations and workers all lie....its a given #disabilitylivesmatteroz
The day program where my son was recently injured sent me an email with a letter - the CEO acturally sent me a letter on the night before Good Friday (an Easter gift)
saying James is suspended from day program for six months and possible Reconciliation (no thanks)
Before that - what? She didn't even apologize for what happened to my son in their duty of care and I paid them to have my son in their program yet they failed duty of care and failed to say sorry
The ceo and workers need I say manager didn't like what I wrote in posts
well my non verbal gentle son didn't like getting a hard hit to the arm a deep trauma noted by second doctor like a repeated hit and deep trauma to the arm....The CEO accused me of naming and shaming her organization I said, I never mentioned the name, and cant see where you say I called them 'dogs' however I did say wolves and I will remove the 'dogs' word. I wont be removing the posts. (Why was a CEO of a big disability organization reading James Website? I think James wrote the posts actually) They hurt my son and then they punish him for my complaining and standing up for him - how despicable... she said the workers felt bullied by the posts but I didnt even know they were reading them on James website??? There was no bullying. Some awful person hurt my son and they have covered it all up. To protect themselves they did not protect him naturalment.
I never named your organization I replied to her... but you have cut my son off who is the bully in this? The provider of course...
I noted a week after James came home with bruises on his arm 'James's bruises much worse now it cuts me to the core. Seeing the manager of the day program she says its a mystery - the workers wouldnt hurt anyone you know them. Look she said one has been crying she is so upset...however I know people cry when they are guilty too or think they might lose their job....
oh said the manager you must be so distressed...she milked the sympathy well...spare me - yes I said but I want to know who did this to my son? - this is failed duty of care...well we have had a good track record she said havent we? Three years or so....to me I think to myself a good track record means no abuse... the workers are deeply upset she crooned - (not as upset as me I am his mother!)
The NDIS says zero tolerance to fraud but I think there is 90 percent tolerance to abuse by the providers and bystanders and maybe 50percent by parents who are too shocked to know what to do and try and then given up as 43 percent of cases are resolved a percentage of those are because the parents are tired of it and give up dropping the complaint. Too many brick walls in our way. Lets kick them down now!
. Its a culture a friend said - a culture of abuse my poor innocent son, my lamb has been born into - a culture of abuse by teachers, students, day programs, respite and workers who think they can get away with it...well not on my watch...
A culture of apathy in a materialistic society - yet now everyone is suffering from the pandemic human rights may be more violated...I will fight for my son always and if we do not stand up they will be hurt more and more...
I never thought it would happen to my child - this is the second time the first time the police refused in 2019 to question the respite worker citing she would just 'lie' so whats the point? What kind of statement is that? So slack so uninterested they need educating on disabilities and vulnerable who cannot defend themselves. Yes we need cameras and body cams so sick of people hurting my son. They better watch out a day of reckoning is coming. Parents are exhausted and beaten down but we must still fight for our children and adult children's protection from harm and keep them from the wolves'
all the best
