Why is this important?
Ems law was started by Ems mother, Ali Mccormick, after her child had been so systemically abused, misunderstood and failed by social care children’s services, camhs, previous education, police, courts and respite carer, that she collapsed from extreme trauma after unlawfully being put on child protection by a social worker not even qualified to do so. She eventually became so mentally unwell from being failed that she tried to take her own life and ended up in a mh unit who unlawfully restrained, failed to provide her assessed needs, injected and abused her and denied her humans rights to even see her family. There is not one provision in the uk for fasd and mh residentially.
Over 7000 babies are born every year in uk alone and the worlds most common learning disability in the world, which can, and does, cause devastation to the person and their families/ carers
Parents are ignored and often tragically blamed for the behaviour of their disabled child
People are being incarcerated in mental health hospitals, prisons or punitive correction centres due to a lack of awareness of fasd and support.
This is a world pandemic of injustice, unnecessary pain and monstrous disaster.
People with fasd can achieve and do well in life. The correct provisions and scaffolding put in place can change lives.
This tragedy needs urgent attention.
Please sign and share everywhere, and make Em’s law of raising awareness of FASD mandatory, as well as knowledgeable support services.
