Stop the family persecution by the social workers

The Issue

For several years social workers pursue our faimly instead of providing the necessary assistance to our son. They made children afraid of losing their brother and parents. They ignore that urgent medical assistance to our child with autism was not provided and force parents to abandon the need for appropriate for our child care and assistance, as well as his right for education. They are forcing parents to send their teenager in "kindergarten" where specialists do not have the necessary certificates. Now they even imposed the family guardian over us instead of replacing a worker who did not speak English and whose job was to help us.

We are international family, living in the Netherlands, we have three teenage sons. The elder son has an autism, he hardly speaks. Since moving to the Netherlands, our son was unable to attend school because the Dutch language will be the fourth for him, and all the international schools in the Netherlands have refused to accept it.

We had to arrange to help him at home on their own, choosing the best possible therapies used for autism worldwide and pledged several educational facilities to accept him for free.

In the Netherlands, much of our son's health deteriorated, he began to have chronic otitis, mastoiditis, holeasteatoma, underwent 2 operations. His doctor told us that he has more practically no tools for the treatment of a child in such a case, and it is unclear when this situation occurs.

To treat our son, we use all the possibilities, giving him treatment in various European countries in various clinics as medical care in the Netherlands has not been effective for him, despite our numerous attempts.

As a result of failure to provide prompt psychiatric post-operative care in the Netherlands, the operation the child was made much later than necessary, so that the child has lost 90% of hearing and had a Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome.  But local administration instead of reporting that centrum that refused to provide him urgent help used the report from this centrum as a basis for their own report. Those who wre responsible for his pain ans suffering were accepted as good experts!
More than that - we were advised by social services not to report that centrum! Till now this centrum acts and offers their "care" to other children.

We found, trained and pay for home helpers and found a school for him in another country, but instead they without us (illegally) decided to send our child to a kindergarten (not in school) what is contrary to his right to be educated in the school according to EU resolution on autism from 2007.

On the top local administration acted against local Dutch law that forbids them to refuse parents help that they refer for their child and give budget with conditions.

We are told that we are great parents and need help. But we did  not ask for it and do not understand why do we need it then.

We always do get education on the latest therapies, which are paid as we ourselves have trained them at his own expense in the US according to the best international standards (ABA) of domestic helpers, but local social services, claiming that we are wrong to organized assistance, which is necessary to the child.

Our children are afraid of social workers, as some times they reported that, if we do not sign their decision, they will deprived us of parental rights or take away children.

Social workers have always come at a time when children were returning from school that scares them even more. We have repeatedly pointed out that their intervention is not only not help, but, on the contrary, a negative effect on the atmosphere in the family, creating stress and tension in children, but our information is ignored.
The psychologist found that children suffers psychological trauma from social workers and from that situation. Children contacted children organisations, pledged judges to release them from that "help", but their voices are ignored.

Our arguments are not specified in the reports until the indication of non-existent facts.

We hope that our children's rights are not violated, as often happens in the Netherlands, according to reports by UNICEF and advocate for children who report that 2,000 children are waiting for assistance.

Commissioner for Human Rights noted that many children with disabilities seggregated from their peers in the Dutch education system. KDC is the exact form of seggregation of disabled chidren from their neurotypic peers.

We ask all supporters to sign a petition against the tyranny of social services in the Netherlands against our son with autism and cessation of harassment of the family based on the assumptions in this problem of incompetent workers.

If you do not help us, children can be picked from loving parents or deprive us of the opportunity to decide their fate, and even provide them with the necessary medical care, and the older child with autism may be left without needed therapy, without the possibility of communication, seggregated by society and excluded from the education system.
