Today marks a year since I spread my parents' ashes in a place that holds so many memories. As the #JusticeForHarvey March takes place on the other side of the country, my kids are standing up for Harvey, for Dollceanna, for our own Tj in their own way , they all deserved better

Dollceanna Carter's family have still not gotten closure after 2 years , @CHI_Ireland continue to hold up this process . They may think this is an appropriate way to treat families . we do not. how many more children have to suffer before government step in #JusticeForHarvey.

How is 16 years of age adulthood? In our experience "transitioned" is just a fancy word for abandoned into the abyss, let me be real clear my son is a young adult living with spina bifida & inoperable scoliosis . there are no services, Tj and Paddy deserve better they all do 💔.

Another one to go to the data commissioner , if we at @SBH_PAG a voluntary parent lead advocacy group can keep our records organised you think a multi million euro funded entity responsible for the care of hundreds of medically fragile children could do the same .@UnaKeightley
