Hi Kari

Thank you so much for your response to my message.

Things are looking pretty bad for my son right now, the head of the children's home wants him out as soon as possible due to his behaviour around the other young people there, she also said like myself, that she does not advise (in fact strongly warns against) the idea of him being put into a foster home where there are other children he is extremely violent, and has made up stories about things that have happened to him in there, forgetting that there were adult witnesses present.

I have told Social Services about his diet, and have explained this food plan in quite a lot of detail, and they sounded ok about it until they asked me if a GP could diagnose Sugar Sensitivity, at which point (from my own experience of medical professionals in the UK) I told them that the vast majority of Doctors over here don't even believe Sugar Sensitvity exists. The tone of the Social Services worker changed very quickly then, unfortunately. I just hope that someone will listen to me about it. They are paying a lot of money to have him assessed by a Child Psychologist shortly, one who specialises in ADD and Autism, and if anyone knows anything about sugar, it would be them, but the advice I have seen given to parents of children with ADD is to just not let them have sugar. That, without the rest of the program in place would be catastrophic.

Fingers crossed

Thanks again

Love

Jane

: Jane I am sure this was a very hard
: choice to make. But I am sure it
: is the best. I was in the same
: type of situation as your son.
: After my mother became ill I was
: passed around from family member
: to family member (lived in a total
: of 5 homes) because my father
: could not handle me or my
: behavior. After all of that I too
: was put into a children's home. I
: spent the last two years of high
: school there. I had a younger
: sister and brother that stayed
: home with my father. My father and
: I's relationship got better once I
: was not living under the same
: roof. Now that I have been on this
: program we have a wonderful
: relationship. He always felt
: really bad at giving me up to the
: state and putting me in a home.
: But I tell him so many times that
: it was the best thing he could
: have ever done for me. I was given
: the structure in the children's
: home that I was not given at home.
: I went from failing out of school
: (expelled from one school and kick
: out of another) to straight As. I
: was given wonderful opportunities
: that I would never have gotten at
: home. I went off to college and
: got a four year business degree
: and graduated with honors. I don't
: think that I would be alive today
: if it was not for being put into
: that children's home. Of course I
: wish back then they had known of
: this program. I have since tried
: to contact people that run the
: children's homes there in that
: state about this program but have
: been unsuccessful in getting
: through to them.

: Best for luck with you, your daughter
: and your son.

: Much love
