First REDMERLIN Thomas was on at risk reg but every time we had home support Adam was a sgood as gold (Of Course) so all the report state Everythings cool. Trouble is that was LAST summer and since then he is getting more volent again.
Second MRSANDMAN Thats the next Plan (Cant do it while hes here) Been to see them once and time to go again)
Third EJEAN9 Shes Left the paper
Fourthly he's 12 now (And A big 12)

Have any of you WATCHED the DVD called THE BLACK BALOON. Well the Autistic boy in that is Adam Only Adam is 5 times worse!!!!!
ITS A VERY GOOD dvd FILM ANYWAY (WON AWARDS)

Have not seen it Red but will look out for it..Adam was big in the article for his age..i dread to think what you are having to cope with now ! Surely someone someplace must help you ? its terrible that you are constantly worn out..not just with Adam but fighting for Adam and his brother to ensure both their welfare is looked after...

[Rednosty]

Thomas was absoultly terrified the other day when his brother came into the room he was in. A real look of fright

[ejean9]

thats just not on...how on earth do you cope ? you all must be so drained...

Hi Red

That’s probably part of the problem, for as long as they THINK you are coping they are happy to let you! I’ve heard of people who get to the same point as you, who have literally gone down to either Social Services/GP etc. and REFUSE TO LEAVE until someone listens to them!

Hugs to you all, hope you get it sorted soon.

Blessings

Sometimes I wonder how. Good job I'm a very very laid back person I think that helps unless I get a fire in my belly (To fight SS)

[ejean9]

I hope something turns up for you all....you cant continue like that..its not fair on any of you...

[Rednosty]

Well we PAID for two agengy Workers to cover 3 hours on Thursday and Tonight and BOTH times Adam went into one BIG TIME Pulling hair Kicking Spitting Biting And I think its good news!! Strangly...I have asked both workers to make sure they report it and pass it on to the SS. We had timed it so it covers the few hours that Thomas is home.!

[ejean9]

well here is hoping someone takes notice !

I know that this is going to sound terrible but I would refuse to have Adam home again if coming home puts either himself or his younger brother at risk. I'd use the agency workers' reports, go see my gp, your younger lad's school and his health visitor - the whole works. I'd start the ball rolling the minute that Adam's half term ended and he was back in school.

It will be an awful thing to have to do because he is your child and though he has problems you love him and are trying to do the very best for him. I wonder whether SS are in fact waiting for you to say something like this.
