Autistic boy behind closed doors

Gomey is an autistic young man of 19.
He was taken from his home by a ploceforce of 6 persons and some social workers.

A new social worker spoke not even an hour with him, but arranged a forced admittance to a hospotal, because she considered him to be a danger for himself and others, ãnd suicidal.

Event though he is english speaking and an english hospital was nearby, he was send to a french hospital.
On top of it all he wasn't allowed to see his family for several days.

The family doesn't understand why this happened, as they don't consider Gomey a danger, nor is he considered suicidal.
Even the doctor of the hospital said he didn't see any signs of that.

Gomey still has to stay behind doors for 21 days, as a prisoner.
He is 19, high functioning, but has no say in this.

The family is afraid Gomey will be taken from their care completely and send to a home.
The mother remembered the social worker looked very strange when she heard Gomey was on a diet, and she's afraid that facts will be turned around to take Gomey from her care.

He lost weight a couple of times which was brought to the attention of several doctors.
Since the diet was started Gomey felt better and his autistic characteristics, handflapping for instance, improved noticably.

Even more important: Gomey often told the last months that he felt very happy.

He looked forward to skying a few times more before the end of winter.
He can't.

You can read more here and find some suggestions what you can do to help Gomey and his family.

Don't forget the retweet the item there too. So Gomey's story will reach the media and those who are responsible for his wellbeing.
