Tras pasar 16 horas en camilla, hecha con sillas de plástico, madre retira a su hijo autista del Hospital de Talca. Recinto la denunció a la justicia por llevárselo

I just read this crazy article about a mom who had to pull her autistic son out of a hospital in Talca, Chile after 16 hours of waiting on a plastic chair. Apparently, the hospital staff reported her to the authorities for “stealing” her own child!

Essentially, the mom was waiting for her son to receive a medical check-up after experiencing seizures. But after waiting 16 hours without any update or attention from the staff, she got fed up and decided to take matters into her own hands. She took her son out of the hospital and went home.

Now, the hospital is trying to press charges against her for “kidnapping”. It’s pretty messed up if you ask me. The article highlights how this incident sheds light on the struggles that parents of children with autism face when trying to navigate a sometimes indifferent and uncaring healthcare system.

As someone who has worked with children with autism, I can attest to the challenges that parents face. It’s extremely frustrating when you’re doing everything you can to get your child the help they need and you’re met with resistance or neglect from the very people who are supposed to be helping. I hope this incident opens up a larger conversation about the need for more empathy and understanding towards families who are caring for children with special needs.

In conclusion, this is an important issue that deserves more attention. Parents shouldn’t have to go through such extreme measures just to get their children the basic medical care they need. Let’s hope that stories like this can bring about change and more support for families in need.
