SAMPSON FAMILY YMCA ABUSES AND NEGLECTS CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS!

The Sampson family YMCA kicked my son out of camp after 2 days because staff were inattentive to his special needs. They had my mother come pick him up and never contacted me to tell me about his (documented) behaviors (as he has an autism diagnosis and I provided them with his IEP which they neglected to consult). I called the YMCA every day for weeks to reach the director and try to find out what happened, I still haven t heard from her.
The YMCA staff filed a Child Line report that stated the incident was very different from what they told my mother occurred and fabricating injuries my son allegedly obtained at camp (which he did not have shortly after the alleged incident when he was picked up) and stated I FAIL TO ADDRESS HIS MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS despite me being an autism specialist and have my masters in social work while he receives numerous services and therapies. They went as far to allege that I am bipolar (which is not a diagnosis I have NOR would be appropriate to disclose if I did) In The report. I never received even an incident report from the Y regarding any thing. Even CYF told me I need to go to the magistrate and press charges against the Y for negligence and filing a fake childline.
The YMCA will go as far as to commit crimes to keep special needs kids out of their camp and will not communicate with parents. They should be defunded and shut down.

It s been TWO MONTHS and I still haven t been able to speak with anyone from the camp!
