Thank you, we are lucky enough to have some options, so we don't need to claim asylum.

They won't even speak to any of the families. They will decide treatment for our kids by reading their notes and let us know once the decisions have been made. It's disgusting. I guess it's easier to harm kids if you don't have to look them in the eyes as you do so.

Absolutely. It doesn't surprise me at all because most of us parents can't speak publically because our kids don't want us to. Which is absolutely their right, but these people know that, and the silence is how they can get away with harming them.

Oof, that just made me cry. Thank you so much ❤️

Anne Health are incredible. I can't even begin to express how amazing every single one of the staff are. The job they do is lifesaving, and so many more people would be in a terrible place if it wasn't for them.

If you have been reading my posts and wondering how you can help, donating to Anne Health would be a good way. Many of the kids are on blockers via the NHS because they can't afford to go private. I know times are tough, so sharing this instead would be helpful if you can't afford to donate.

Let's hope so. We couldn't talk about it for legal reasons for most of this, I think they thought it was going to stay quiet.

Oh god, im so sorry they are doing this to her. My heart goes out to her. This is utterly horrific. My son is caught up in this as well, and it just hell.

Not to mention refusing to speak to us about the treatment they are going to decide on for our kids without giving us a right to reply.

The hypocrisy of the ICB is shocking. They refuse to allow us a right to reply. They don't turn up for meetings with us. They refuse to speak to us at all. They make decisions on his treatment whilst refusing to even meet him or discuss with us. Where's our right to reply?

Sophie Molly @sophiemolly.co.uk · 17h

My reporting has touched a nerve with Sussex ICB.

They contacted North West Bylines to remove my article untill they give a right to reply. They already gave a statement, which is included in the article.

I think they're rattled.

Are they serious? They won't give us a right to reply. They won't even discuss it with us. They fail to turn up to meetings. They state that they will decide our childs care moving forward and will not meet or discuss with him or us.

We couldn't even do that. We constantly have the threat of social services over our heads, we have to do everything by the law or we face losing him.

We don't know yet. We are going travelling for a year or 2, I can't face settling anywhere and maybe having to move again. Portugal have a coalition government that have had to partner with the far right. We had looked to go there.

Thank you. It is horrific. It's been going on since June, and I can still hardly believe how bad it's gotten.
