Unassisted son, mom gets chained

(ANSA) - FOGGIA, FEBRUARY 18 - A mother with a motor disability has chained herself to the gates of the comprehensive institute 'Santa Chiara Pascoli Altamura', in Foggia. The woman asks for assistance for her 12-year-old son who attends the early media, suffering from an infantile cerebral palsy: she is a wheelchair, she does not speak, she does not eat alone and has a severe cognitive delay. The woman asks that a social worker (Oss) be reassigned to her son.
"My son Francesco - says mum - needs assistance during school hours both for changing diapers and for eating snacks. Until December 20, we had no problem whatsoever because the school had entered into a convention with a private institution entrusting the care of my son to trainees, but from that day the service is suspended ". "This morning - he adds - in the face of yet another refusal to receive me from the school manager Mariolina Goduto, I decided to chain myself and I will remain so until they do not insure an Oss for my son".
