Justice for Melissa Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/justice-for-melissa.html Online petition signatures en-us Wed, 15 Apr 2026 02:48 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mrs Anonymous [Signature #1355] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14086722?utm_medium=rss It is so sad when the system in place to protect children does them harm. A child with Asperger's needs their family around them, needs their family routines and the love that comes unquestioningly from that family. To deprive a mother of her child, although initially at her request due to extraneous conditions, is something the Social Care partnerships should find shameful and should hurry to correct.

The stress for the family would be huge and cause all types of illness. Who looks after them - no one the state answers to no one. It is time to pay the right people to conduct assessments, trained in each specialism, rather than investing in compensation. In addition to this, it would be a great idea to provide proper support rather than a generic portfolio of non descript care. Whilst on the subject, whilst out with my autistic nephew this weekend, he acted out/played up the sympathy i received was astonishing, he was only telling me it was too noisy - understanding is everything opinions count for nothing in the real world, you only hear the ones who shout the loudest - right or wrong

I know there are many others in this situation and it grieves me that children are being removed from their loving parents, who are doing their very best against all odds, and who have asked for help. Autism is an extremely complex condition which should not be underestimated in terms of the stress it puts on parents and families. Nor should ANY child on the spectrum - or their parent/carer be assessed by or have judgements made about them by those with little, if any, specialist training. Please re-assess this case using people with expertise in the field of autism and return Melissa to her mother and siblings - where she belongs. I speak from experience - High functioning autism and Asperger's syndrome runs in my family - I have Asperger's myself, as does my son - it is a universal truth that mothers know their children best and are the ONLY 'experts' on their children - especially those on the autism spectrum.

Personally I believe social services destroys normal families needing support yet fails abused children until some die
