In this episode, Amber & Jason meet Carol, the mother of an intellectually disabled son and a passionate advocate for reform.
She shares how her family was thrust into the world of courtrooms, plea bargains, ankle monitors and public registration after a situation that occurred in 2012. Their story is one of tragedy and triumph, one that shines a light on the fact that criminal prosecutions of those with intellectual and developmental disabilities often lead to disastrous consequences for individuals and their families without any benefit to the public.
In the episode, Carol shares enthusiastically about LRIDD - Legal Reform for the Intellectually & Developmentally Disabled. Listeners can learn more about their work here: http://www.LRIDD.org
The story of Carol and her family was also featured in a recent article by Chiara Eisner, When People with Intellectual Disabilities Are Punished, Parents Pay the Price
