The same thing happens in US all the time. ...Mary,<br /><br />The same thing happens in US all the time. Surely police officers do need more training in the area of mental/physical disabilities, at the very least learn the basic characteristics of mental disabilities - and understand that those people may not cooperate because they don't understand.<br /><br />Unfortunately, here in the US, those with mental disabilities are often thrown in jail in lieu of 'understanding and home' or a hospital.<br /><br />Most officers in my area do a good job dealing with the ones with disabilities.<br /><br />But to be honest, I think the few officers who do violate these people's rights *know* and are aware - but they had rather ignore the problem and act like a bully - because they can.<br /><br />Police officers aren't the only ones though - mental health workers, social workers, mess up too. It got real bad here in Georgia for a while - neglect, abuse, deaths - the Georgia Mental Health System has been under federal investigation for years.<br /><br />The Atlanta Journal Constitution ran a big series about it a few years ago.Deborah Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874951426927082730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-34690597924583376392009-04-26T05:22:00.000-07:002009-04-26T05:22:00.000-07:00I hadn't heard of this story, but all I can say is...I hadn't heard of this story, but all I can say is that if I was his mother, I would be quite upset!!! I know the police are just doing their job but as you say, there is definitely a need for them to be trained in recognizing a person with autism or any such disorder. My main concern, though, is why he wasn't allowed his one phone call...the police definitely screwed up there! xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-10283664526799979652009-04-24T19:59:00.000-07:002009-04-24T19:59:00.000-07:00Your absolutely right...this is a huge issue...hug...Your absolutely right...this is a huge issue...huge.<br /><br />Good informative post.<br /><br />Love, JessJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12646280374026009035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-8956130031886076002009-04-24T13:41:00.000-07:002009-04-24T13:41:00.000-07:00I for one would not wish to be a police person bec...I for one would not wish to be a police person because often bad judgement makes news and good judgement goes unnoticed.

I read a very sad story in People magazine this week about a very large 17-year-old autistic boy (200 pounds) who beat his mom to death. They were very close and she'd raised him alone his whole life. He was volatile and she hid in her closet often, it said, with him kicking the door. They don't know what they're going to do with him, because he really is at the highest level of the disorder, apparently not really aware of what he did. So so sad.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938607712512860569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-78780309312566769412009-04-24T03:54:00.000-07:002009-04-24T03:54:00.000-07:00I can see your point of view most definitely!!! B...I can see your point of view most definitely!!! But, I need to ask, just what kind of training it would be to differentiate? Seriously. I would be very interested in this as my grandson has D.S. And he would not understand the ways of law enforcement either. What can be done, you wonder? With crime at the highest ever, I can understand too, that the police would certainly be suspicious...you never know. But still on the other hand, why did they not give the kid a call to his parent or legal guardian first? It's appalling, but again, I can see the other side of the story too.Hootin Annihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811326085498312568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-47319070792512332862009-04-24T03:41:00.000-07:002009-04-24T03:41:00.000-07:00What a terrible thing to happen to Dane.
