Please help, desperate mother seeking support for her son

Rhia Marshall

My son has been in care for 4 months, and hasnt attended education for over a year as he was removed from a school which could meet his needs due to LA not wanting to fund transport. Anyway to cut a long story short, ive been advocating for my sons needs for years, he is now in care and has a criminal record due to the lack and support of his condition. 

Please help me raise awareness to get our children the help they need and sign my petition below

  • I've had nothing despite my begs and pleas for help, my son has been in care 4 months and until Friday the social worker hadn't even read his ehcp, infact she asked me for a copy, I've had family interventions come in to my house in the past, but the techniques they offer are your basic which I have tried and exhausted, i myself have attended groups , training days and parenting classes, but some days all my efforts and techniques don't work. He has been totally let down by Sen he hasn't even been at school for a year because the authority wouldn't transport across county when he stayed with family (5miles) instead they put him in a local special needs school who couldn't cope with him put him on a reduced timetable of 2 hours on 2 to 1 support n in 2 months there was 83 incidents and they said they wouldn't have him back. He has been totally let down by everyone and it's just so wrong, all I get is threats from social services that I take him home or they'll take me to court, and as much as I want him home I can't allow my other children to be hurt anymore, I just feel totally stuck n it's so hard
