Autistic Boy With Epilepsy Under ‘Hospital Arrest’ Over Medical Cannabis Treatment

Fact checked

An autistic boy with epilepsy, has effectively been placed “under hospital arrest” in Northern Ireland  because authorities will not allow him to be treated with cannabis oil at home, according to his mother.

Twelve year old Billy Caldwell was suffering with up to 100 seizures a day before starting the cannabis oil treatment.

After spending three weeks at London’s Chelsea and Westminster Hospital to treat his life-threatening condition, Billy returned to Northern Ireland this week, where it was expected that his medication could be administered at his home in Castlederg.

RT reports: The Northern Ireland Health Department on Thursday granted a temporary license for cannabis oil – which Billy relies to control his epileptic seizures – but on the sole condition he is administered the drug in a Belfast hospital.

Billy lives in Co Tyrone, which is a two-hour journey away from the Belfast. As the 12-year-old needs a dose of the drug twice a day, it means he has to endure a four-hour round trip every day.

His mother, Charlotte Caldwell, said: “Billy has effectively been placed under hospital arrest. The Department of Health in Northern Ireland has refused to release Billy’s meds, which have to stay at or near a hospital in Belfast, for the duration of Billy’s treatment, which is basically for the rest of his life – or until somebody sees sense.

“This is completely at odds with the view of the Chelsea and Westminster hospital, which said he could go home, and the Home Office, which recommended he did,” she said, according to The Guardian.

Billy had not suffered any seizures for almost a year after starting the cannabis oil treatment. However he ran out of supplies in June and the Home Office banned his GP from proscribing more. His mother travelled to Canada to stock up on the plant-based drug, but on arrival at Heathrow airport in June, the supply was confiscated from her.

The case, along with several other high-profile cases of patients depending on the drug to treat their conditions, sparked a massive debate on the legalization of cannabis for medical purposes.

Home Secretary Sajid Javid responded to the outcry by calling for a review of the scheduling of the drug.

  1. They are going to fu-k with the wrong family one day, and the lion and the lioness are going to bring pure hell to those that think they can kidnap children like those in this case. If enough lions and lioness would just rise up and stop at nothing to get the child back and Yes i mean be physical this crap will stop, for those that do these acts are pure cowards at best.

    • No they won’t. Those ‘wrong’ families never have this happen to them. Because they are too wealthy. Not because of violence. The government has turned humans into trained amoral attack dogs, through ‘education’. People follow orders and the herd. Police will act against them on the hospitals say so, and if that isn’t enough the army too.
      But in large groups acting as peaceful as possible, could do it. Maybe. Until the bullets fly.

  2. strong medical evidence links autism with vaccinations.Death too.But you know a spooonful of sugar helps the medicine go down .

  3. The hospital is hell bent on killing the boy, just wait and see. The hospitals and courts together are death for anyone.

  4. Why treat an autist with a plant that induces autism? Dumbasses. Change his diet and get him on some serious supplements. Europeans have no brains. Zero. Whatsoever. This is why God mixes good Europeans with semetic, ashkenazi, and misc. caucasian blood to overcome the anglo inbreed.

    Whenever I see a big, tough-looking, seemingly strong-willed man with his lanky autistic child/”adult”, it makes me wonder what goes through his head. My son would be my heir. My blood. I would want him to be healthy, strong. Better than me. If I saw he wasn’t a restless ball of fire, I’d intervene. If I saw his skin was pasty or his build was off, I’d intervene. If I noticed he’s not finding himself, I’d intervene. Every father wants his son to challenge him, but in a good way. Every father wants his son to have it better than him, and wants to exchange the tough lessons he has to teach his son for security and forgiveness.

    The reason there are no more men (or women) left in numbers in this world, is because no one knows what a FATHER or MOTHER is. People walking around with half-dead children, autistic, ADD, whatever, and they take it. Most are braindead themselves. No, you don’t take it. You fix the problems. You find the solutions. A parent is supposed to get it all right long before puberty and guide their child from puberty into adulthood. That is your job. Learn it or become sterile. You don’t get to micromanage and control a human being (that’s slavery). You don’t get to befriend your old child (that falls under the inbreeding umbrella). You don’t get to take your aggressions and failures out on your offspring (that’s bullying).
