To the child expelled or not admitted On the first day of the Granadilla inclusive camp, which has been taking place since July in El Médano, another 14-year-old girl who has also been excluded now joins. However, from the City Council of Granadilla the spokespersons for the PSOE and Ciudadanos are accused of lying in the statement published yesterday by this newspaper, although the complaints exist and there are also two other families who have complained of another possible expulsion of their children for “need diapers”
The Councilor for Social Services, María de la O Gaspar, charged against the opposition by denouncing verbatim: “A child with autism was expelled from a camp in Granadilla for not having staff to attend to him.” “It is incredible how they use such a vulnerable group to manipulate and distort the inclusive leisure camp service that families sorely need,” she said.
The councilor relates that having spoken with the company that provides the camp service, to contrast what the opposition wields, “they tell us that it is not true that any child was expelled on the first day of camp; always and in all cases there is a period of adaptation of the same”. However, yesterday the City Council contacted the mother of the first child and the company that manages the camp, clarifying that “this child requires a monitor exclusively for him, something that the service cannot assume because it would be disregarding the rest, up to 25 registered”.
Now, the Department of Social Services has agreed a meeting between both parties to clarify any doubts. However, previously they insisted that “in cases where a child does not adapt, due to various serious circumstances, they speak and explain it to the families, who understand it perfectly, as have been two specific cases, one in August and one in July. However, the complainant parents, in a letter addressed to the City Council on August 9, demand the readmission of their children to the camp.
