The noise is so traumatic for us and our rescue pups. It’s not just one day July 4 it’s all week of July 4 and New Years and on Saturday nights!!
Very very concerning with fires and dry grass. Wish fireworks were only allowed in public parks and run professionally!!
Bonnie supported: Implement Regulations for Low Noise Fireworks to Shield PTSD Sufferers, Pets, and WildlifeNew Year’s Eve and the 4th of July are so hard on so many animals being subjected to this terror and trauma.
Shaila supported: Implement Regulations for Low Noise Fireworks to Shield PTSD Sufferers, Pets, and WildlifeI've had friends that were part of the system when we were children. As adults, they finally exposed the abuse they experienced - mental, physical, sexual. The system that was supposed to protect them from their "home environment" exposed them to more abuse than the neglect they experienced in a home with a mother that was a recovering drug addict. Even more mental abuse than they experienced when they found their father's body after he took his own life. The "system" across the nation needs to change - these children should not be victimized by a system that is designed to protect them!
Sunny supported: 🛑 STOP Human trafficking at the hands of our government officialsAs an adoptive mother of two kids who spent time in foster care, I know how fortunate we are that our situation went fairly seamlessly. I know that's not the case for so many vulnerable children (especially those with special needs). The "syetem" everywhere throughout our country needs top down reform and accountability from day one that a child is placed in out of home care. I don't know the full extent of your situation, but I truly hope that there is justice done and resolution.
Raleigh supported: 🛑 STOP Human trafficking at the hands of our government officialsI've read many heartbreaking stories of lives affected by CPS child trafficking organizations. It's government sanctioned kidnapping, and seems to be largely ignored. Families being torn apart should be a last resort and not taken lightly.
Stephanie supported: 🛑 STOP Human trafficking at the hands of our government officialsI have an Autistic daughter. She will run off and even if you tell her to stop she will not stop. If you grab at her she will recoil or possibly even push you away with one arm and say no.
Her only chance if she encounters a police officer is either that she is still very young, the officer doesn’t attack because she is a girl, or the officer is properly trained and never jumps straight to action.
I can’t even put myself in my friends shoes. Both his son and daughter are autistic and like my daughter it’s bad. They are both non compliant. So he has a boy that is dark skinned and at some point that boy is going to be tall and teenage. I’m worried about cops attacking my daughter especially after seeing that cop who body slammed that 100LB teen into concrete with no provocation. It’s worse for men and it’s worse for dark skinned people.
William supported: Mandatory Autism & Mental Health Training for First Responders, Educators & ResourcesMy son has autism and was taken advantage of and used by druggies. Yet he's paying the excessive price. They wanted to send him to state mental hospital, very bad place to restore him to prosecute. I threw a fit telling them he's not insane, he's autistic! The court sentenced him with 2 felonies. For someone with the mental capacity of approximately 16 socially and elementary in comprehension, reading and writing. I felt it was excessive for someone with autism. I truly believe autistic people are really smarter and highly intelligent and lifted. However, it's trapped inside them, making communication very difficult for them. The judge should have shown some compassion but didn't. He's still on probation and none of the probation officers know anything about special needs or autism. It was shameful and disgusting to witness as his mother. I will never give up on him. He's finally getting help in developmental disability program but Medicaid makes the process extremely difficult to get him the help with living skills he desperately needs. This young man is going far if we can just keep these druggies and freeloaders from taking advantage of and manipulating him. He was almost off welfare when he met this bad person who got him into soo much trouble. It breaks my heart he's doesn't understand when someone is using him or manipulating and taking advantage of him.
From a loving autistic mom.
Kelley supported: Mandatory Autism & Mental Health Training for First Responders, Educators & ResourcesThis petition is dear to my heart one of my pediatric patients was Autistic non-verbal
Tanya supported: Mandatory Autism & Mental Health Training for First Responders, Educators & ResourcesI personally have watch people be treated poorly by bad cops on a couple different forces. I have personally had things happen. It's disheartening. I've never been in trouble and I'm 49 years old. These are things that are hard to get over, and create distrust for our first responders.
