An Ontario mother is devastated after her 16-year-old son with special needs was found unresponsive and alone at his school two weeks ago, and later pronounced dead.
That would certainly be a great start to the long term solution. I was more talking about here and soon, like, how do we build resilient and redundant measures that prevent this in between the existence of a proper treatment and now. Like, surely somebody has figured out a protocol that would have prevented this. We should try and get that implemented or something
Totally agree that increasing the amount of research and qualified researchers is the best way to go long term.
Side note: the American medical association is literally evil, they do everything they can to limit the amount of doctors to inflate their pay by limiting supply. Imagine if there was a much larger amount medical professionals, so much more stuff would have been researched and had treatments developed by now.
Surely they should’ve had some idea of where he was, how long do they typically leave students in the sensory rooms?
It doesn’t seem like an imposition to at least know where a kid is and check on him even every 30 minutes. Presumably he was left unattended for a fairly significant amount of time as he was “cold”?
Yeah that’s the thing, if there was an actual protocol that was followed there would still be a kid hugging his mom later today. It’s the lack of a system to prevent this (I am not a Canada expert, maybe an existing one wasn’t followed and needs more scrutiny and oversight) that amazes me. From an outside perspective, if a child in your care is at risk you better front and center that. It’s fucked. I hope prison is on the table at minimum for the adults who had responsibility for this child.
