Kids with disabilities shouldn’t be punished because of their parent’s income. Equal health access benefits the society and provides peace of mind to the parents.
Poor judgement by trusted professionals should not lead to a family’s life being turned upside down! We appreciate those that report concerns when they’re appropriate, but disregarding instructions and not using medicine provided is not an excuse. I advocate for these families - especially the Rippetoe-Crabtree family as I have personally experienced them showing nothing but love and care for their children.
Special needs parents are already stretched to the max with making sure their children's needs are met. Unnecessary reports to child services just add to an already full plate for families.
I endured similar treatment from HCPSS as a student in late nineties and early oughts. That the situation has not improved is unsurprising, but alarming.
Hello my son has autism and epilepsy and this is something he will have the rest of his life.us moms take on a whole different world with our unique kids and we are there safe place. And that safe place is a very big deal .its hard to find people to work with my son because he doesn’t know them and he doesn’t like a lot of people in his space he gets overwhelmed and then his world is upside down .us moms don’t ask for nothing but what is needed for our kids. This would help so many parents to keep there children safe in there safe place and there needs could be met better. I really hope for change and let our kids thrive as they should.
My mother (Samantha smothers) has been taking care of my baby sister (massaria) who is nonverbal autistic with little to no help. My mom was told by several schools and social workers that my little sister is to extreme and that there’s nothing they can do to help. When I lived with them my mom could never do anything for herself or spend time with my other siblings because she constantly had to keep an eye on Massaria. I myself have stepped up to help my mom with Massaria but it seems every time I see her she just gets worse.. my mom is even covered in bruises now because Massaria can’t control herself. I’m absolutely not saying this is all Massarias fault because she doesn’t understand, she can’t express how she’s feeling without screaming or crying. Imagine being in that little girls shoes.. not being able to say “momma I’m hungry” or “momma my stomach hurts” or “momma I’m scared”. That little girl is probably so miserable not being able to find her voice and not being able to express how she’s feeling. Massaria is such a smart and beautiful girl.. She’s just misunderstood..
Aaron needs his family to be able to live a full life . Just like Aaron’s family I came to this great country of the USA as an immigrant and now am a citizen. And I believe that the fairness and justice and opportunities in this country have made families like Aaron’s and mine be productive citizens of this country. There are so many that are getting away with crimes and are not being called out or deported but Aaron’s situation is legitimate and does not deserve this. Please reconsider and we can all be proud to say that the United States of America is a country based on fairness , justice and equality for ALL.
