5. Not Being Blamed for Your Own Murder
I wish this didn’t have to be said. I so, so wish that. But it does.Horrifyingly, every time a disabled person is murdered by their parents, the media prints a story sympathizing with the parents’ situation.
Worse yet, many disability organizations and parents of disabled children express their sympathy, not for the murdered disabled people – but for their murderers.
Alex Spourdalakis was also killed by his mother and godmother. They first tried to poison him with sleeping pills, but when that didn’t work, his mother grabbed a knife and stabbed the boy in the chest four times and slit his wrist. He was a smart 14-year-old who loved balloons and the color yellow.
In an elaborate murder-suicide, an entire family of four was killed through airborne gas. One of the children, Martin, was 10 years old. The daughter, Elisa, was age 11.
What did all of these children have in common? They were all on the autism spectrum.
Some statistics estimate that a child, teen, or adult with a disability is killed by a caregiver at least once per week.
