handsofclay Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 signed. Mental illness is bad enough to cope with without the authorities displaying insanity and insensitivity in their so called treatment of it. I will just check my watch to make sure we are in the 21st century! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Why on earth aren't there any closer facilities? All of the money used on foreign aid, crazy council-backed schemes, concert halls, etc, shows the fundamental issues we face. Funding should be there to build suitable centres / facilities in each region of the country. How many UK families are in the same cruel situation?

Cant believe the authorities allow Eddie's poor Mum do a 600 mile round trip and only get the chance to see her Son once a month is so wrong. Fingers crossed this all works out.

HomerRed Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Signed. There was a similar story featured on Five Live earlier this week with a couple from the South East interviewed. They were fraught with worry because they can't see their son and there's nothing in their area either. I know the NHS is in a lot of trouble (despite government claims to the contrary) but this situation is beyond ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those parents were complaining their son has been locked up for 6 months. Eddie has now been gone for over 3 years. Not that she begrudges them anything, but she's been trying to draw attention to Eddie's situation now for ages, she's tried her MP (Charlotte Leslie was about as much use as a chocolate teapot and the less said about her response the better!) and so when she saw this family on the tv, she decided enough was enough. She just desperately wants her son back nearer to his family, where he belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this isn't football related, and I will move it eventually, but I am hoping you will all be willing to help me out. One of my lovely friends Adele has had her now 16 year old son locked up hundreds of miles away because of his disabilities. He is detained under the mental health act, and she has a 600 mile round trip to see her son. She has been asking the authorities for years to bring him closer to home so that she can see him more regularly. She has now started a petition to try and get them to listen to her. I was hoping you lot would take a minute to just sign this petition to try and get the powers that be to listen. Thank you for reading https://www.change.org/p/bristol-local-authority-action-for-eddie-help-get-my-son-eddie-out-of-hospital-in-newcastle-and-home-to-bristol?recruiter=9999736&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink I have a friend also in Bristol, in the similar situation, 14 year old son (Autistic) was in Bury, now Woking for over 6 months. Its awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still friends on Facebook. He is a lovely bloke (Oxford Utd fan - so we've had plenty of footy banter), and I've been sharing his family's story as much as I can through social media.
