FW: Bring Ayn Home: Autistic Girl Taken From Her Father by Province

[Guest guest]

Hi all, Please take the time to sign this petition to return Ayn home to her family... please don't forget to pass it along.  Thanks,   Bring Ayn Home: Autistic Girl Taken From Her Father by Province A letter from the Dad ,My name is I am a single father of three wonderful youngchildren, aged 9, 10 and 11; my youngest two have both been diagnosedwith severe autism. Though a constant and challenging struggle, I havedone my best to protect and nurture them, as I love them so much andhave dedicated my life to their achievement of happiness. My youngestchild ...is a bright and beautiful little spitfire named Ayn. She hasand is blossoming so well here at home and has come so far to overcomeher obvious disability, she does however continue to struggle andoutburst when in other environments, particularly at school. Ayn isnaive and unaware of the dangers that exist in the world at large, sowhen on Sunday she escaped the backyard we were very worried for hersafety. With each passing moment the likelihood that somethingterrible had happened increased, as Ayn should stand out from otherchildren easily and should have been quickly spotted. Fortunately Aynwas discovered two doors down playing in a neighbours backyard, theneighbour had taken an afternoon nap which provided Ayn with theability to play undisturbed. The challenges I have faced in caring formy daughter have been encompassing and life altering, these challengesare very dynamic and new challenges arise as fast as the old onedepart. Now with her discovery of the neighbours nearby trampoline andpool, she will undoubtedly seek to return there, vigilance will berequired to face this new found challenge, but it is one which I mustnow face just as I have with each prior challenge and as I would haveto with our future challenges as well. As it stands today I may neverget that opportunity. This morning two workers from CPS arrived at myhome to request that I "voluntarily" give Ayn over to them (she was atschool at the time), if I refused they would simply coercively removeher. There should be no illusions here when someone approaches you andsays "give me your child or I'm taking her" you should not pretendthat any such choice would be done "voluntarily". They do not arguethat she was abused, they do not argue that she was unnurtured, theysimply say that as a single father I have an overwhelming amount ofresponsibility and workload, and that Ayn's naivety renders her adanger to herself, and due to me having so much to deal with theyshould remove her in effect to lighten my workload. It is not arguedthat Ayn was thriving here, it was not argued that Ayn was failing toimprove at home, but that her behaviour was self endangering. Mylittle girl is autistic, I am aware that she does not understand thedangers that lurk, I love her and I protect her, when Ayn has atantrum at school it is me they either call in to calm her or send herhome to, when she is injured it is to me whom she turns because she"needs a bandage". The greatest successes this little girl has hadwere nurtured in the home, she loves it here, she loves her brothersand she loves her Dad, please help me get my little girl back.I would be forever in your debt,iconoclast_ensues@...http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_152278868178942 & ap=1
