This is so sad. Poor family – there needs to be so much more support provided to help families with additional needs like this.

I am glad they charged this horrible person, she had 4 kids all with special needs so after the first child was diagnosed why did she continue to have more! There are better ways to reach out for help & strategies to prevent a child behaving anti socially, I had a child of my own who would strip down regularly in public but we found ways to deal with it. Even as a teenager he was very relaxed about clothing but thankfully by then only at home.
Under no circumstance should you just dump your kid somewhere, reach out for help from the appropriate people so you get the right help you need, get help from a local church just to share the load or give you a break from it while you wait for the right organisation to provide assistance. I know how hard it is to have special needs children having worked with them for a number of years & they often become more difficult as they get older but this woman shocks me given that she should fully understand special needs kids having 4 of her own. Shaking my head…

felt sd when read this article as she must have been desperte to leaveher son.appropreat no but sounds like she has aloton her plate! soto speak,surely health services and welfare groups could provide, helpand support. To charge her is not asolution in my understanding.To look after one child with a disabilit is hard,she has four! Help not punishement please

This poor woman and child. I can’t imagine what she is going through

I can only imagine how hard things are for this woman. Seems she did what she thought was best, what other options did she have? I hope she and her children get the help they need.

This woman needs help not further problems.

Poor woman!

I wonder what would have happened if she had contacted them?
Would their responsw have been as slow as ours often is? Possibly the behaviour of the other special needs children has had a negative effect on him and he is reacting and may not even understand some of it.

I feel for her, having four special needs children would definetly be very difficult but I think she should of asked for help instead of leaving him at the door of medical centre.

How sad is this?! The mother was obviously struggling and no wonder with so many children that required extra attention. I think they should check out her home and her other children before they do too much for her. I can certainly empathise with this mum
