It is a storm in Torano Castello for the story that saw a 5 -year -old boy protagonist, with autistic spectrum disorder. Until recently, the baby is a beneficiary of the municipal social transport service to reach the structures where he receives intensive therapies and rehabilitations, has been gradually denying the support: for two days a week, the service has been inexplicably reduced to only one, for reasons that the father calls “futile”.
A choice that aroused the firm reaction of the Action Party, which in an official note expresses “profound indignation and concern” for a fact deemed “absurd and disconcerting”. Stefania Postarivo, coordinator of the National Department of Equal Opportunities of Action, is clear in its condemnation: «It is clear that what happened, regardless of the alleged or real motivations, represents a clear violation of the rights of the disabled minor, with a consequent failure to come without the principle, sanctioned and conclated, of equal opportunities. It is all the duty of the institutions and work for each right to be always guaranteed. It puts an end to this dehuman act ». Rachele Sacco, coordinator of the National Department for the disability of the party, also on the same line: «We are dismayed in the face of such a fact. Removeing an essential service to a disabled minor, without offering any alternative, represents a very serious lack and an intolerable injury to the right to assistance and health. As action we firmly condemn the attitude of the Municipality and ask for an immediate solution, so that transport is restored in total safety and according to the needs of the child and his family “.
