Thanks Floss and everyone else, Rob doesn’t have PICA his mother said he did to try and get more money, he is simply eating unsuitable things because he is literally starving, he has never once eaten anything unsuitable when he is here or in respite, because he knows there is always food here xFloss said:@Red_ruby that's an awful way to treat someone who's making another person's life more enriched.
I second involving your MP - Councils have a deadline to provide a response to them of (I think) 10 days. Gather all your notes together and make a bullet-pointed list of everything: concerns about his wellbeing, days Rob has not been properly clothed / had no money / been ill due to his PICA not being managed, the amount of money you've had to subsidise him, the difference whilst he's been in respite etc.6 -
Ruby just catching up on the update re Rob. I can understand you being so upset, poor Rob. I agree with others that have advised contacting your MP. I’m so glad he has you fighting for what he should rightfully have.6
