BC Parents Fight Back - Autism Rally - Nov, Friday the 13th

Our government let this boy die.
Stop more from suffering the same fate.

BC parents are tired of watching the government allow the needless suffering and death of children and parents.

How can we allow the kind of suffering that would lead a person to murder their own children and then commit suicide themselves? Suffering so bad and tragic that killing your family was a better alternative can not be acceptable in Canada.

In Canada, this sort of suffering exists and recent deaths are easy to find:

Why should you attend?

• The recent tragic deaths of two Canadian children with autism, killed at the hands of their own parents, is a wake up call! The status qua is putting the health of children and their very lives in jeopardy.
• September’s announcement by the Ministry of Children and Family Development has shown that our government is not concerned about the rights and needs of some of its most vulnerable citizens.
• No legislation or mandate exists to deliver health care to children with autism or to protect and enshrine their right to their medically necessary treatment. What little individualized funding being provided now is in jeopardy of being taken away.
• Autism is an epidemic! According to the Center for Disease Control, it now affects one in every 100 children in North America.
• It is time for our provincial government to recognize its responsibility to act and to demonstrate leadership for the rest of Canada!
  

Who should attend?

• Parents, grandparents, friends, consultants, therapists, anyone who is concerned about this injustice to our children. We urge you all to attend this rally!
