First- I did not throw my son to the wolves just to champion a cause… as a single mom with all 3 children (young adults/adults now) that have various forms of behavior and developmental problems, I finally asked “the village” for assistance with my 3rd child that was insisting on going down the wrong path and the “experts” had been – for years- claiming (basically) that it was my fault- they really could not see that the child had any problems… but I knew there was more to it than just a minor attention difficulty and needed to have a correct diagnosis so I would be able to get him some real help. (not to mention the older brother that desperately needs some assistance too, and that in hoping for some assistance with #3 I could maybe find some programs that could really help with both of them, instead of just running around like a headless chicken, constantly managing crises damage control).

The rest of it simply evolved out of the regular dealings with the State and the Courts, and the lawyer was very relieved to finally find someone “who could articulate what the problems were” with THE SYSTEM so that he could address the issues with the legal community.

Second- I was simply trying to get people to open up and to show that no matter what situation you are in, they could take courage in the fact that THE GOVERNMENT is not to big to stand up to.

So… I am sorry if I stepped on someone’s toes so hard that they had to ask me to quietly slink away… I promise not to embarrass you anymore, OK? (P.S. I have had many CPS investigations over the last 23 years and have gotten a green light on all of them- I would like to see Alex Jones walk in my shoes for 1 month and see how long he lasts...)
