It has been one full year since Teresa’s petition “Human Rights Should Never Be Disabled” launched on World Down Syndrome Day. One week ago, Teresa got up on-stage and sang and danced at the Best Buddies Karaoke event at the University of Victoria. It’s just one of many wonderful and amazing experiences she has had in the past 15 months that she would NEVER have had if she had stayed in the Ontario long-term care home where was forcefully placed in 2013. The fact that Teresa has been thriving living outside of an institution with me (her sister), is proof that she should NEVER have been placed in long-term care. We would love to able to declare “Victory”, but we can’t. Not yet. Teresa's case is a shocking abuse of a vulnerable adult. She tried to defend herself but could not. It is up to us to stand with her and demand an apology and accountability for the wrongs that were done to her. Please leave a comment for Teresa on her petition and share this update with your friends. Ask them to SIGN her petition demanding an apology from the CCAC and the Rekai Centre. https://www.change.org/teresapocock My sister, Teresa, Just Wants To Have Fun — Outside of a Nursing Home! http://www.frankejames.com/teresa-just-wants-to-have-fun/
