The mother of a 16-year-old with special needs who died at his eastern Ontario high school last month says she is broken because her boy is gone, and she wants everyone to hold their own children tight.
Landyn Ferris, had a form of epilepsy called Dravet Syndrome, and his mom says she has few answers so far as to what happened to him, aside from being told he was found alone and unresponsive in a sensory room at Trenton High School on May 14.
New Democratic Party critics, the Ontario Autism Coalition and a disability rights advocate held a joint news conference today to call for answers, for better supports in schools such as more educational assistants, and better criteria for when kids are in such rooms. Kate Logue with the autism coalition read out a statement from Landyn's mother, Brenda Davis, who says that day she got a text message from the school about an emergency, and by the time she rushed over she found her son on a stretcher in his classroom, receiving CPR, his fingers already blue.
