Lauren Deserves Better

I'm just one little girl.

One little girl with multiple handicaps.

One little girl who resides in a care facility for the Developmentally Disabled.

One little girl who was told at age 12 by a caregiver that they would 'break your f*cking arm' if she didn't behave.

One little girl who was told to have heel cord surgery which my dad questioned, and an orthopedist agreed, was unnecessary. Only to have the physical therapist declare that they would no longer treat me.

One little girl who walked out of her facility in the winter without shoes and appropriate attire for an undetermined amount of time, only to be found in a gutter elsewhere in the neighborhood.

One little girl who was left on a bus, on the hottest day of that year, for an undetermined period of time. Only to be found in a full sweat from head to toe with an elevated body temperature.

One little girl, fed by a g-tube, who was sent to the hospital as a result of being overloaded with fluid without attentive monitoring of output. I had 2 liters of fluids pumped from my 4'4" frame.

One little girl who had her throat cut resulting in 12 stiches and no one knows anything. And,

One little girl who was just left on a bus again.

I'm just one little girl who's a survivor!

A survivor of Neglect

A survivor of Abuse

A survivor of Malpractice

A survivor of 'The System'
