智力残障自闭症男子的母亲因在最高法院辩称侵犯人权而被拘留了18年

Share:

一名自闭症和智力障碍男子的母亲将在最高法院辩称她的儿子被不公平地拘留。Jay*的真实姓名未透露,他根据《智力残疾强制护理和康复法》接受了18年的治疗,因为他被认为太危险了,无法获释。

去年,上诉法院注意到杰伊的罪行轻微,但表示专家认为他对公众构成了很高的风险。人权律师托尼·埃利斯和格雷姆·埃格勒将代表他的母亲,声称对他的拘留侵犯了他的人权。

上诉还将涉及法院是否平衡了社区安全和残疾人权利。人权委员会和IHC将参与有关该法案的人权和残疾问题的讨论。

杰伊在用斧头砸碎邻居的窗户后于2004年首次被拘留。他被起诉,但由于残疾而被认定不适合受审。2006年,他被安置在一个安全的护理机构中,从那以后一直待在那里,在过去的四年里,他完全隐居在奥克兰的梅森诊所。

他的母亲每周都会探望他,但从未见过他的生活区,因为她只能进入探视室。她觉得自己的儿子因自闭症而受到惩罚,并希望他能被释放到一个更了解他的部队。

据估计,任何时候都有大约100至120人处于强制性护理令之下。这些命令由家庭法院批准,通常有效期长达三年,但可以无限期延长。在18年中,杰伊的订单已续订了11次,现已有效期至2026年4月。

专家说,如果杰伊获释,“遭受暴力侵害的风险很高或非常高”。在接受照料期间,他曾试图偷走武器,威胁工作人员并破坏财产。拥护者认为,他没有得到适当的康复,也并不总是得到训练有素的工作人员的照顾。

2021年对梅森诊所的检查显示,该诊所可能不适合自闭症患者。该报告批评了持续使用限制和隔离的现象,尽管此前曾承诺减少限制和隔离措施,但这种使用却有所增加。
