Petition updateBring my son Stephen home & care for him in our community #bringstephenhomeStephen has been moved out of St Andrews Hospital
Stephen S A MLondon, ENG, United Kingdom
Jan 6, 2015
I have big news about Stephen today. Stephen has been moved out of St Andrews Hospital. It is 22 months to the day since he was moved in. Now he is going to a specialist autism treatment facility. It's a low secure hospital, so not perfect I am afraid, but it's a step in the right direction. And they are going to help him come off some of his antipsychotic drugs he was given at St Andrews. So they will start to rehabilitate my poor boy. It a step in the right direction. It was after my campaign went on BBC1, Channel 4, The Guardian and The Independent that we won this big battle. Now the fight starts again. The new hospital is in Colchester 70 miles away from our home in London. Not ideal and it's not what we want, but at this moment we have no choice. He is going possibly for 12 months, I want it to be 6. Ultimately we still want Stephen home and in the community with us. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you all so much for your support. Without you all I could not have done it. Please don't forget Stephen #BringStephenHome Thank you for all your support. Leo
