 THIS IS NO ACCIDENT, THIS IS NEGLIGENCE

 Our mission is to find justice, accountability, and eventually closure in the death of Anyah Raven Glossinger.  We are determined to spread her message, and we are dedicated to advocate and persevere in our quest for equality and quality of life for Autistic children. 

1 in 150 children have Autism. It is time for the state and local authority to learn the autistim spectrum and catch up to a gripping and explosive epidemic.  They need to catch up today! Autistic children and their families who are victimized deserve the same protection of the law as other children. We believe they may not be getting it. State and local authorities need to create and enforce laws that are adaptive to the needs and rights of the autistic community.

The recent death of 5 year old Anyah Raven Glossinger, an autistic and visually impaired girl with the developmental level of a 24 month old, raises a number of moral, political, judicial, and ethical issues that require immediate attention. It brings about questions of quality in care, discrimination, and a system that may  be failing the autistic community. These questions stem from the outcome of the traumatic and avoidable January 23rd 2008.  Professional caregivers through a program licensed by the state were responsible for the well being of Anyah, they left her in the water as the only child not provided a life vest, without a voice, without the cognitive ability to fight for her life, they turned their backs on her until she was in cardiac arrest. They lied to the community, themselves, Anyah's mother, the police, and each other.

"It was only a matter of time until this happened" said a CA. state agent during the course of the investigation, as if the ticking time bomb that had sat right under the surfice had finally blown.
Anyah's death prompted police to suggest charges against her caretakers of negligent manslaughter.  To add insult to injury the D.A declined to file charges of even child endangerment stating there was too little evidence. Her death prompted an investigation by the state of California into a program ran by a nationwide organization for disabled children.  Then a laundry list of disturbing findings forced the state of California to close the program permanently. 

What would have been different if the state and regional agencies responsible for overseeing the program had done their part.  What may have been prevented if the program was monitored properly, if regulations and licensing requirements were enforced?
The answer is Anyah might still be alive.

This case is still open with the Riverside County District Attorney and they are said to be waiting on new evidence.  Learn about the message her mother is spreading in her daughters memory, the ongoing fight for justice, and her quest for new laws.

                   
  WE WANT ACCOUNTABILITY. 




I nearly choke on the air
Thick with grief and sorrow,
I’m at a loss for words
Knowing you won’t be back tomorrow,
I will never say goodbye
 but I approach you in silence,
Sadness enfolds me
without you I am not free,
Rage creeps in because
At the end of this battle
No one will win,
There is not enough punishment,
No amount of retribution
Will bring about
A satisfying resolution.

How can this be no justice yet for my baby.

You were taken from us that fatal day, as I waited at home thinking you were perfectly safe. 
They took you away, when they brought you where you weren't supposed to play. 
When strangers decided you would be in better hands, they did so with out even a back up plan.
They turned around, leaving you to drown.
Without a voice or a helping hand, then hoped that I wouldn't make a stand.
 As you slipped from the life that I had planned, you trusted them dear, 
now I live in sorrow and fear.

I am left wondering how can this be, no justice yet for my baby. 

I have to ask who is to blame as everyone continues to play the red tape game.
The facts all point a certain way, to the negligent events that happened that day.
Now you are gone and all they can say, is inaccurate accounts of your unnatural fate.
So again I wonder how can this be, as each day passes filled with grief, and still no justice yet for my baby. 

The coroner checks the box next to "accidental death", and the media forgets there is NO box for "death caused by negligence".
The Police and detectives say they are on our side, do they really think I will sit back and go along for the ride. 
They ask for negligent manslaughter and so does the state. 
The D.A says NO WAY because....
 "in drowning cases the odds of convictions aren't so great". 
Yet all do say they have done there best, however still not one arrest!
They suggest corporate liability, but shelf it all like an over read book, assuming no one will ever be on the hook.
But they are wrong in so many ways, I am on the hook each and every day.
I have been hooked by a dagger of greif, loss, and fear, and through it all I must persevere. 
They tell my attorney to bring them more evidence, as if whats already in front of them is completely irrelevant.

We need to join together and raise our voice in the name of Anyah who had no choice.
It is well overdue time for those to pay, for the precious life they put in harms way.

 These failures start at state and governmental levels, and stretch all the
way down to the bowels of the poorly constructed non profits and their petty inexperienced employees who stand around holding policy and procedure handbooks written in crayon by morally starved executive directors. 
   
   We are taught that our system is indeed capable of providing for the safety, health,
and welfare of the weakest members of our society.  The poor construction of this system
and the vast margins of error that have been weaved into it's design should be on the forefront
of California's fix it list.  For this is not the first time, however this time, it was my
 angel that died.  Every single loss of life is a catastrophic loss.

I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccessful rebellions, indeed, generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions as not to discourage them too much. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of the government.
