    I'm 18 years of age & I went through something similar with the school this past year. I stopped attending school in November & eventually dropped out of Sixth Form. The school have been on my back about this as well as my family & it was later diagnosed that I had anxiety & clinical depression. I still think mentally there is something else that I have that has not yet been diagnosed but the school didn't care. As far as they were concerned I was ruining their data & I believe they threatened my Father to take him to court. I've now dropped out of chool & it's nearly been a month since I have but my attendance fell to 30% & the A-Level exams that I had been submitted for the school are trying to make me pay for them since I will not be doing them. I definitely agree the system in this country is extremely lacking. We support you Kev. We have Andy's back! Let the fight begin!

      Porridge #Dev they have autism service dogs for people who have severe autism my opinion is Anna needs to set up a GoFundMe account for Andrew and contact a lawyer for Hurricane Andrew document everything you can Kevin show the letter to the lawyer and see what the lawyer tells you when Anna you know hopefully you can get some help with the fund me account do you have any friends or family that knows how to set up a fund me account for Andrew to get an Autism service dog

      What pisses me off more than anything about some head teachers is that they only care about the data. they dont care about the mental strain and potential harm they could be causing, they just want to make the school look good. The head teacher at my school actually threatened students and parents with suspensions and expulsions for not performing well enough and making the school look bad. Keep in mind this is a public school in New Zealand.

    100% go for it Kev as someone who's had very very bad Anxiety as a child and all through primary school and secondary school never having any help and them just brushing it off even though my mum had to deal with me kicking and screaming and refusing to go to school and even now as an adult with very bad Anxiety and PTSD still getting help hasn't changed as an adult this is something that defiantly needs sorting but I think your both doing an amazing job!!

    I'm so sorry about this Kev. I'm 17 and started my first year of college last September. Long story short, I have anxiety, a stupid rumour went round and I couldn't bring myself to go back in. I ended up dropping out. Thankfully my college was brilliant about it. They said they'd offer me a place next year (I didn't take it and I'm now going to a different college in september)
    I know this comment doesnt have the largest amount of relevance to the video, however if there is someone reading this thinking about dropping out for a year due to mental health; I just want to tell them it isn't the end of the world and, to be perfectly honest, is probably the best thing to do in order to battle ones anxiety.

  • @rebeccawilliams139
    @rebeccawilliams139 Před 5 lety +1

    This is similar to what happened with my parents, I have anxiety and was a “school refuser” for a lot of time. I wanted to go to school but every time I tried I’d panic and meltdown, it was so stressful, I felt like I was letting everyone down, I felt so guilty for putting that stress on my parents and for being responsible for them being threatened with legal action. I was so stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and even suicidal. No one cared what I was going through and that I literally could not go to school, even if I could have gone to school I would have been a mess, I wouldn’t have been able to learn or function. I had no work sent home, I had a teacher come to my house and tell me that I was a bad student, that I was being truant and was a let down to my parents. My parents did try to physically get me to school, they managed to drag me outside my room screaming and crying and grabbing everything I could but they thankfully stoped before the stairs. They are good people but this is what the system brought them to do, this is what they told them to do.

    for god's sake. it makes me so angry. having similar issues myself. the schools talk down to the parents as though they are stupid and tell you to just make them do things. their argument is that they don't stand for any rubbish from the kids at school so the parents shouldn't put up with it either. its not as black and white as they make it sound and they make things a lot worse how they deal with these situations. there is no empathy at all just stupid solutions. as parents we want our kids to be happy at school and want to attend. its like they think we are keeping our kids off school on purpose

I was luck that I lived a 5 min walk away and I would only turn up for morning registration then walk home. I really feel for you and the family. You should take them to court for negligence for the bite.
    On a different note, would you be able to get support to home school him? Hope things start to get sorted for you all, I'm sure all of your followers are backing you. ❤️

    when I was in year 1 I was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia and anxiety, as well as crippling depprettion, I lost my hair when I was 5/6 throughout chemotherapy and I was in a hospital bed throughing up blood, my primary school sued my mum for a poor attendance, I'm 12 now I've learnt the meaning of life, Andy should not be treated like this, he is special in his own way and they cant tell you to physically move Andy/force him that will put him in a panic attack and worse faint, my older brother has autism he's 23 and he went through the same as Andy.

  • @amyhawker7775
    @amyhawker7775 Před 6 lety +3

    I know how you feel my friend (who was 14 at the time) had severe anxiety and it got to the point where she would make herself sick to not go to school. The school were so bad because all they said was “she has to come in she’s ruining her GCSE’s” after all the letters of threats she had to leave the school and do something even more terrifying for her and go to a big collage full of loads of people which is her worst nightmare. Good luck I hope Andy is doing much better!

    I understand your frustion. Mental issues are still missunderstanded a whole lot. He, Andy is a kid too so they should be more understanding....
    I am glad that when I was the depressed my high school was supported and step by step I could get back to high scool and end it with good grades. I am so sad that there is not taking the issue seriously in other countries. It is better in Sweden I feel like, but still politician in Sweden is also doing to Little about mental Health issue..
    This is definitely not okey.. Do not give up Kev, you have right. I will support you through this..Ridicolous authorities, I get really piss at this, since I really want austism / asperger syndrome people to get help, and stand up from them!!

    I have quite a few absences because of anxiety (I also have high functioning autism and I’m in a mainstream school). When I was in year 10 it did cause problems and I kept getting in trouble for “low” attendance, it wasn’t even that low. I have a better head of year and my head teacher knows me this year though so it hasn’t caused issues. My brother was off school for 6 months at one point due to disability and not having his needs met so we had to sign him off as homeschooled until we found a better school for him. It does work. He is at a special school and has had his transport cut. My mum had to quit her job to drive him to the nearest special needs school (an hour and a half away). We also stood up to the council about that but it hasn’t made a difference. She did get on the local radio and in the paper about it though.

  • @RoseSolane
    @RoseSolane Před 7 lety +3

    I typed a long epistle and deleted most of it. Bottom line for me is: I don't believe that using force to get Andy into a car would do anything to solve the anxiety problem. So it would not help and could easily result in physically forcing a boy into a car for several years. That can't be the solution!.
    I don't really know what advice I could give you. What can the court do? Giving Anna a fine? Take him away? Appoint someone as his legal guardian? None of this would help her son at all! Waiting until September and see if your plan will work seems the best option. I hope a judge would see that too.
    I don't think that taking the nuclear option is a good idea. Unless you expect that it would solve the main problem: Getting Andy to school and cure his anxiety problem. Using the nuclear option as a threat is a better idea. I don't think anybody would win anything with going to court so whatever it takes to prevent that is a good idea.
    I really hope the school will wait a few weeks with there next step and your plan in September will work!

  • @betterspud21
    @betterspud21 Před 7 lety +3

    If you did put him through all that and somehow managed to physically force him to go to school, what kind of state of mind would he be in? I imagine that he'd be hugely distressed and even less willing to cooperate with anyone. Would they be happy for you to leave him in their care in that state? Would he be receptive to any form of education in that frame of mind? Of course not.
    Forcing him would simply increase the magnitude of his anxiety and make every problem much, much worse.
    Anyone that would suggest this course of action should not be allowed to hold a position where their decision counts. I know first hand that there are many such people in our broken systems. Compared to what your family has gone through (and continues to go through), my family has got off lightly and we're almost out the other side of all the bullshit, but I've seen how it goes.
    While I fully support your decision to fight (what other course of action are you really left with at this point?), I hold little optimism that a genuinely satisfactory outcome will be reached. There's just too much apathy within mental health administration (and many other similar departments) and those people in the sector that genuinely care (there are many of them) are restricted and hamstrung in so many ways that they cannot get you the help that they know you need.
    It's a sad state of affairs that impacts too heavily on some of the most vulnerable people.
    I sincerely wish you the best of fortune with everything that is to come and hope that someone, somehow takes notice and gets Andy the assistance and care that he needs.

  • @Byronimo-RK
    @Byronimo-RK Před 7 lety +2

    The issue of Andy's anxiety should have been discussed and agreed on his EHC, so there should have been some form of record of it. And there should have been some form of agreement in the EHC where a settled person and mode of transport is arranged (basically the member of staff who gets to know Andy to a point where he trusts them and then they took Andy to school). You can also agree on a funded allowance for travel costs for when you take him to school at the start of the new Academic year and again Andy can have a helper. For yesterday's vlog, you should be able to apply for a disability grant where you can be helped financially with the purchase of the new car. Hope this all helps

    • @Byronimo-RK

    • @kevinchapmanvlog
      @kevinchapmanvlog  Před 7 lety +1

      +Beast 96 it's in his EHC that he has anxiety that is stopping him attending school, and also the plan to get him back to school by using direct payments to fund someone to travel with him. Unfortunately the doctors letters take precedence over the EHC apparently, so the anxiety is no longer considered to be a reason not to attend school, and despite getting direct payments funding through, we've had no applicants for he job, so that's hit a bit of a dead end. We've looked into help with the car, but because he doesn't have any mobility problems we don't qualify it seems

If you go court they won't sit and listen to you they will read the case file and tell you they are fining you they won't even allocate you the time to hear your side of the story.

    Hi Kev, hope this doesn't infringe on the whole politics thing but just an idea. If your MP is Labour, particularly if they've just won the seat, it might be an ideal time to contact them as they might jump at the opportunity to demonstrate them helping and changing lives of constituents.

      I think Kev has said before that a big part of Andy going to school is actually intergrating him with society and mixing him with other people. This would not be the case if he was home schooled. Kev, please correct me if I am wrong

    • @kevinchapmanvlog
      @kevinchapmanvlog  Před 7 lety +7

      +Jason Duncan home schooling wouldn't be of any benefit to him. School isn't about learning stuff for him, he'll never pass, or even take, any exams. It's about teaching him social interaction and how to be apart from us so he can cope as an adult when we're not there all the time.

    This is so unfair and I really feel for you Kev, no one seems to be taking into account the mental health aspect and they obviously are not thinking about how it would affect Andy. They cannot expect you and Anna to physically force him to go to school because it will make the anxiety worse and traumatise him. And that would be their fault Kev, not yours and Anna’s fault!!! They are failing in their duty of care.

    If possible it is better for the parents to lodge a complaint asking for a court date saying you are not getting the support to get the child to school. That way it puts the blame where it should be rather than on you guys. These health "professionals" basically want mum to hire a mobster to force the child into a car by any means necessary. It may be time to contact the media to get your story out there as soon as it becomes a case against you it will be difficult at best to get your side heard. Maybe you should approach those who are actually helping or trying to about how best to make this public without hurting them?

    The big loser in this, is Andy.
    And no one seem to acknowledge or understand that...
    Apparently people who were educated with practically no real live experience, the only experience they have is from the books, are in charge in this cases. Questioning what parents do to give their kids the best live possible, or even worse, questioning whether parents know what is right for their kids.
    I know where it goes wrong! Do you?
    If there is no sign of abusive behaviour from parents in any way what so ever, parents in general know what their kids want, and how to get them in to it. Leave the parents alone in raising their kids, unless they ask for help or if there are signs of abuse.
    In this case it is no where near abuse. In this case we are talking about parents trying to figure out the right way to get their kid back in school. Authorities in this case only have to be there for advise or recommendations. Nothing more!
    Forcing will make things worse, it does only give temporary solution, where a solution on the long term is needed.

    Do it! They are failing not only you, but they are massively failing Andy and it's just not on! You couldn't physically do any more, take it higher and get it seen, mental health issues are just as important, if not more important than physical issues. If they are going to take you to court then you need to show how you have all be failed by the systems

    • @tobymoss8843

  • @LokiDokiGG
    @LokiDokiGG Před 7 lety

    Hi Kev, here is my thoughts, firstly what happened to that thing they were doing giving you money to hire a helper? did they cancel that?
    for me personally i would not go nuclear just yet, i would contact the school and remind them that you quitting in 4 weeks to try and make this work and see what happens after that. like you said yourself, some people have tried to be really helpful and you don't want to burn those bridges

    • @kevinchapmanvlog
      @kevinchapmanvlog  Před 7 lety

      +Loki Doki the helper thing is reliant on someone applying for the job - we actually got our first applicant come through this morning, so fingers crossed they'll be good and we can appoint them to get to know him for a few weeks before the end of term.
      We look at home schooling as a last resort. We could do it, and he'd probably get a better education than he'd get at school. But wherever he is, we don't expect him to ever take exams, get a job, etc. It's unlikely to ever be realistic for him. Going to school is more about the social interaction side of things, and there's no way for us to replicate that at home. Without learning all of that, any hope for him ever living semi-independently is massively reduced. He relies 100% on Anna for everything at the moment, and her biggest fear is what would happen to him when she dies (Fingers crossed he'll be in his 60s by then, but whenever it happens, she's still likely to go first, and without learning social skills now, he's not likely to learn them in his 20s or 30s when there's nothing like school for him to do it in).
      If it became a choice between home schooling him temporarily and going to court, we could do it short term to take the heat off, but long term he needs as much time in school as possible before he's 19 and the little bit of support we get now gets pulled out from under him...

    From what the press in my country is telling about health care in Britain, it seems to be going from bad to worse. Nurses on health bank etc?

  • @g.g.baxter4868
    @g.g.baxter4868 Před 7 lety +1

    its an incredible hard situation, there probably is an argument that you should do more to get him to school, but that's why your leaving work so you can have a fresh crack at it in the new school year. The 'easy' option would be to get to the bottom of why hes so anxious about going to school, but as I'm sure your aware that's not so simple when it comes to dealing with autistic children. the other option is to look at a different school, but again even his anxiety of going to the school will be over ridden but his need for routine, id say move to a area that has a better record, you yourself have said the school the other side of the river would be a better fit, but would andy cope with a move, I doubt it. I would assume this is just them flexing their muscles, this close to the end of the school year I doubt much will happen, I would hope its just them reinforcing that in the new year he needs to be at school, like you didn't already know that. either way ive got andys back
