MORE HELP FOR EVERY CHILD/YOUNG PERSON LIVING WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, ILLNESS

I totally support your petition and i have signed it. A friend of mine has a son with bi polar and autism and she has ended up in mental care twice because of trying to cope as a single parent with him. They both need help and nothing was done, not even rest bite care until she had a breakdown. He has tried to stab her and burn me with a lighter before. This needs to be addressed in the media def, have you tried Jeramy Kyle he seems pretty good at getting messages across. good luck.x

Firstly thankyou so much for signing and supporting my petition. I'm so sorry to hear what your friend has had to go through, its no surprised to me hun that most of it they have had to deal with it on their own, its discusting. my aim is to have help 24hrs a day 7 days a week for every child/young person who has any mental health condition, also for mental health to be taught in school's. I'm doing this petition for EVERY child/young person in England and Wales, its a nation wide problem. Please pass on my link to my petition to everyone you know the more signatures i get the better. I've emailed every tv programe put it on their forum pages ect. many thanks again and please pass on my love to your friend and her family.

I am all for this petition and support this all the way. I have just signed and going to pass this to others who I know will also back this - with no problems. We do have some members of family with Mental Health where I believe more support should be on hand, there does not seem to be a great deal of it for this, and feel the more that will back this up the better. I have a son with Aspergers Syndrome, he also suffers with high levels of anxiety, and some learning difficulties, where support is also needed throughout here too. My son is 13 years old. I hope this petition succeeds to receive the support that should have been put in place a very long time ago. The very best of luck from me.

hi janice was just wondering how you are getting on with your petition, i work with children/adults in this sector and at times it is a sad sight. i applaud you, best of luck, keep your chin up and keep fighting.

Hello everyone, This is a field I have had so much stress from. My 13yr old son jumped from a bedroom window in march 2010. I took him straight to hospital and luckily he was unharmed. The hospital at that time said they have a duty to call CHAMS crisis team. They are a joke. Who decided to call in Social Services. My son clearly stated he did it to make his dad feel guilty and make him come back home. My husband had just left the family home and took up the life of drugs and crime. I am so anti drugs I asked him to leave and told him he would not see the children until he changed is attitude and stayed away from these low lives. I am protecting my children. My son was born with serious heart problems and has undergone many heart operations. He is gorgeous. He has vowed never to attempt his life again and he said I thought I would get my own way and my dad would see the light and come home. Since social services became involved they have made him feel guilty , they have placed him and his brother on a child protection register and we have being accused of lying. They are discusting. My sons have always been loved cared for never smacked or anything of this kind. They said its mental cruelty as we dont understand the consequences of divorce. I have also been told its mental cruelty that our family business went into liquidation last year and as a result my son lost his place at private school and we lost our home. I feel we should be alowed to talk in stead of being kept quite. And I also feel that family courts should have a jury as I would have gone to court of such a decision. They lied to get them on a child protection register by saying social services had always being in my childrens lives. This is clearly untrue as they have never ever being a part of my childrens lives ever. They are seriously a law to themselves. I have solicitor who dare not say a word in these child protection meetings this needs changing for every child and parent in the uk.

The way young people with mental health problems are treated is shocking! I went through a rough time recently and was self harming and took overdoses but because of my age(22) they health service didnt know which sector i needed treated in! The whole mental health attitude needs to be changed because no matter what age,what problem,what region you live in, everyone deserves to get the help they need and not have social serivces turn up and make things a million times worse!!
