近日,《新加坡眼》收到一位媽媽的求助信。這位媽媽稱,自己的孩子患有多動症。因為一次衝突,她動手打了孩子,隨後有官員把孩子帶走了,十幾天了杳無音信;官員們還稱要指控她虐待兒童。
到底是怎麼一回事呢?以下是來函照登:
來自一位媽媽的求助
Hi, has tried to get help but no one helping. All push back to MSF (Ministry of Social and Family Development) and MSF covering themselves and do nothing. As my boy was certified as ADHD & PTSD. I has tried all sort of method to stable him to proceed to P2. Recently the family Center counsellor that did not render any help and 1 years come less than 5 times a years, report to Protection Officers saying I abuse mine child which I denial. Then at Students Care Center, things happen. My boy did not respond to all my method. In order to safeguard other children's safety, I had use the last resort by swing my hands on him and walk out. These officers immediately remove the child and said they will charge me child abuse. For these 1 incidents I got into this. Till now no news about the child and he never attend school at all. Do worry about his stability but what can I do? Can anyone advice or help?

你好,我試圖通過各種途徑尋求幫助,但沒有人願意幫忙。有關部門把事情推給新加坡社會及家庭發展部,但MSF也無所作為。
我的兒子被診斷為多動症和創傷後遺症。我已經嘗試了各種方法來穩定他的情緒,並讓他繼續讀二年級。最近,家庭中心的輔導員竟然向保護官員報告稱我虐待兒童,但是我否認虐待兒童。這位輔導員一年來我家不到5次,也沒提供什麼幫助。
之後,學生託管中心那邊突然出事了。我想盡一切辦法來管教我的孩子,但是都不起作用。為了保護其他孩子的安全,逼不得已我動手打了他,然後就走了。這些官員立即就把孩子帶走了,並稱他們將指控我虐待兒童。就是因為這件事,讓我陷絕境。
到現在為止,完全沒有孩子的消息,他也沒有去上過學。我很擔心他的穩定性,但我能做什麼?請求大家給我一些建議或幫助。謝謝!
身為多動症患者或親友,要承受外人難以想像的壓力。Unlocking ADHD是一個民間組織,幫助類似人士及家庭克服和應對相應的問題,還加強社群內部的聯結,達到守望相助的目的。

新加坡眼收到這位媽媽的來信後,通過電話溝通得知,兩周過去了她依然沒有孩子的信息。隨後,新加坡眼把情況反映給了Unlocking ADHD。
據Unlocking ADHD的理解,如果孩子從家長那裡被帶走,MSF兒童保護服務人員會與孩子家長或監護人取得聯繫。他們也給出了政府部門的聯絡信息:

大家有什麼好建議給到這位媽媽呢?
