What a relief. Thank God. And, thank YOU. This story is a detailed illustration of the inadequate support system we have for people with special needs. The intersection of community safety and special needs is dangerous territory. This was a horrible situation. Unfortunately, it could have been much worse. Many people with special needs have suffered and even died needlessly at the hands of the police. People are starting to become aware of the lack of special needs support and your story helps. Love to you.

Thanks, Michele. I hope it helps. I'd like to get our experience "out there" more, but I don't know how and frankly, at this point, I'm too tired to figure it out! xo

This makes me very happy. But also angry. Because none of it should have happened.

I'm so happy to hear about this deal - it's a longer probation period than (I think) you were expecting, but yay that he doesn't have the additional restrictions you thought would come with it! I'm available now...I'll sign it!! Where do I sign??
