Council leader Owen O’Donnell, Labour, said they were required due to “significant financial challenges” and were being implemented with a “really heavy heart” - Shakes head & rolls eyes 🙄 #ShameOnYou

Most of these children were autistic . Autistic children grow into autistic adults , it's the same cruelty in reports from families when the child transitions to adulthood in regards to this toxic culture continuing in our state hospitals in Scotland
Our film, Kids On The Psychiatric Ward, starts on BBC1 Scotland in 5 mins. Tune in if you can. If you can’t, it’s on the @BBCiPlayer already

Harrowing to watch tonight .Cried listening to the wee girl that never ate her second yogurt , even though she had did well eating that day. That was down right sadistic pleasure doing that to her #Humancrueltyonanotherlevel

@CPMumma79 I have never understood why there is daily care notes written within a book in the person's home & then there is running notes that staff write up after a shift is finished , but the person or family who maybe are primary carers don't have that access to these running notes .

This is just abhorrent in every sense towards unpaid carers .
So 28 days in hospital caring for F’s every day. PIP & carers allowance taken off us Now, when I need to rest, not stress, & repair ourselves I’ve got this battle. If i did have a job I would have lost it, as I had to step in where the NHS fails but claims to provide the care

If it's bad for the teachers , it's terrifying for the pupils, check the schools truant levels. Pupils can't cope in the school, afraid to attend ,these pupils are suffering mental health issues due to lack of leadership on this issue .
