  • recipient: All Austic parents, all people who care about the justice system for juviniles with disabilities, Do we lock them all up? for PLAYING? AUTISM + LOW IQ? HE DOESN'T KNOW WHY HE IS BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM HIS LOVING FAMILY. HE WATCHES "COPS" SHOW. SHOULD IT BE
THIS CAN HAPPEN TO YOU OR A FAMILY OR SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT. Maybe just for justice. He doesn't understand why he is being taken away for playing, he wants to be home and in his school, and ride his bike, and play with his dog. HE DID NOT TOUCH ANYONE, THEY HAVE HIM DOWN AS PREMEDIATAED MURDER? WITH WHAT A TOY ? HE KNOCKED ON WINDOW SO PERSON IN HOUSE WOULD LET HIM OUT OF PROPERTY. SO THAT IS CONSIDERED BURGLERY? HE DID NOT THREATEN ANYONE, HE DIDN'T STEAL ANYTHING. HE PICKED UP A BUTTER KNIFE FROM COUNTER WHEN SURROUNDED BY POLICE. HE PUT IT DOWN. HE CRIES IN COURT, JUDGE TOOK AWAY THE FAMILIES 4TH AMENDMENT RIGHTS, IS TAKING CUSTODY OF CHILD UNTIL HE IS 21? "JUST IN CASE"... THEY LET MURDERS OUT AT AGE 18. HE IS AUTISTIC, THE JUSTICE SYSTEM NEEDS TO LEARN ABOUT THIS DISABILITY. IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU. OR A FRIEND. LOCKED UP FOR 10 YEARS "JUST IN CASE". iF HE HAD GOTTEN LOST IN ANYONE ELSES BACKYARD, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. pREVIOUS da FOR JUVIE, NEEDS TRAINING IN AUTISM. 1 OUT OF 10. SOON, IT WILL BE 1 BIRTH OUT OF 5. WHY? BECAUSE OF THE UNBALANCE IN OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM. HELP THIS CHILD.
