vastsarah Report post Posted October 7, 2007 2nd time i have writen this as i cant get the words out right ds had to go to the police station to make a statement about him 1.chaseing a lad with a knife 2.calling another lad racial names 3.armlocking lad2 around neck The police have the above 2 boys aged about 8/9 and another young lad who wouldnt give a statement but did say that ds did say those words,as witnesses. its 3 against 1 But ds has had problems with lad2 before ,police invoved but nothing happened and while we wore out lad 1 came up to play while we were making a statment lol with ds brother. Another possible witness is ds friend who was playing with ds at the time and the friends lads mother was in the park although at the far side. im not going to contact them as i dont feel that i should put them in that position, i just hope they will tell the truth. Ds wouldnt say that he did it and the police man said he was lieing and so its looks like its going farther if the friend says that ds is telling the truth they will drop it but if he dosnt then its going to magistrats court. ds couldnt remember his second name,got his date of birth wronge,started crying and then got angry and swearing. then the policeman said that he know ds was lieing because he wouldnt look him in the eye eh he dosnt look many people in the eye that was 1of the first things that people picked up about him before dx sorry about this rant im just going to wait at least 2 weeks to see what they are going to do just in time for our holiday sorry just fed up he nearly got run over by a bus going to school last week and on friday got kicked out of PE for having his foot under the weights Told by teacher that he was never going to teach him again. sarah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tally Report post Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) It might be good to print this off and give it to the police and anyone else who gets involved if it goes further (It takes a minute or two to download): http://www.nas.org.uk/content/1/c4/80/67/cjp_guide.pdf Particularly page 15 onwards. It mentions that autistic people may not be able to give eye contact. Edited October 7, 2007 by Tally Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cat Report post Posted October 7, 2007 I fully understand that people with autism are not outside of the law but this is a child we are talking about. If this were me and it looked like going further I would want someone in there would could interpert for him. This may sound silly but it is what is needed. We have a speech therapist in my area who does this with the Police and has on more that one ocassion got the Police to do a U turn. Cat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vastsarah Report post Posted October 14, 2007 hi again,just posting a update . the police phoned today,they are still interviewing witnesses. What got me angry is the pc says its not up to him to find information about aspergers and the courts will have all the medical reports. He is also saying that he never said to ds "i know your lieing because your not looking me in the eye" But there again he called me by 3 different names on the phone. sarah,cherry and sandra? Hopefully it will be on the tapes just feeling that yet again ds into trouble over some thing hes not done feeling very down about this sarah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
