I even had children's social care come down on me very hard because I started home teaching for him. All the professionals seem to help each other rather than my son. I have had an open mind with all 4 schools only to find out later that they don't practice what they priech. There seems alot of unaccountability on behave of these so called professionals. my battle with these people has been extremely difficult and upsetting. As a single farther of 3 sons I receive discrimination just for being a man. I've had serious issues with every single professional my son and I have come into contact with ! The affect this has had on my son ,his brothers and me is totally unnecessary and unfair let alone the risk my son is at. As regards my control of my sons condition is in the top 5% of all his medical peer group even with the lack of care from so called professionals. In the 3 months that my son was being home teached by me I got his average blood levels below 7% with less hopos compared to 8% while going to school with more hopos. Just my son being at school makes my job harder and the risk levels more so for him. As a single parent with bad physical health and incognitive problems think I do a very good job control my sons diabetes but yet I'm being criticized while the professionals refuse to be accountable. It seems they all what me to shut up and let them put my sons life at risk. I look forward to your response Regards Greg Lutkin Hi,
