Justice for Alexandria Desmond and Justice for All!

This petition was published by Gina Desmond on Oct 01, 2007

It is my hope that through our horrendous family tragedy, we can make changes and stand up for the rights of those who suffer from mental illness, children and adolescents.

I would like to see states change their laws where those people who are working at a mental health facility are held more accountable for their actions such as if a patient pleads with a facility that "they are afraid to be released because they might hurt someone" as was the case with one of my child's accused killers, patients can not continually AWOL because the staff on duty are busy doing other things instead of watching the doors to the facility.

To often in the state of Connecticut people are released from hospitalization long before they are stable enough to be released from the facility. I would also like to see an interim steps taken before anyone no matter of age or gender is released from a mental health facility when they clearly show that they are a "dangerous" mentally ill patient. Had such a law been in place before those people who murdered my child Alexandria were released, this tragedy would have never happened.

My daughter Alexandria deserves justice.... justice also consists of the state of CT stepping up to the plate and changing laws so this horrific tragedy never happens to another family. My daughters murder was not just one that hit my family, Alexandria's murder could have been anyone's child...

Alexandria deserves justice, she was not just a mentally ill troubled teen or the princess in a box ...she was my child and someone who was loved more than words can say.

One change I would like to see happen is electronic monitoring bracelets and intensive counseling for people who are known as an AWOL risks, and dangers to themselves and others.

"Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere".

By signing this petition you are voicing your opinion that the current mental health system is failing and it is time for change. We can make a difference if we speak up!

JUSTICE FOR ALEXANDRIA...NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!

God Bless-
Gina Desmond - Alexandria's mother always and forever
