"I am learning to see the soul": parents of disabled children have launched a touching flashmob
Parents of children with disabilities are tired to be silent and be in the shadows and launched a loud and large-scale flash mob "I am learning to see the soul"which in a matter of days received a tremendous scale, it was supported by tens of thousands of people.
It all started with the fact that Muscovite Nina Zlobina had lost patience.
A year ago, she adopted a boy with severe vices. Familiar and unfamiliar people scoff at the child, because his face has a rather strange and unusual look for most people. Nina decided to teach society tolerant attitude towards children with special needs.
The last straw in the cup of patience Muscovite was an incident in the MFC.
She applied for services, and took the child to the nursery. There other kids started openly laugh and mock her adoptive son. At the same time, their parents remained silent, no one pulled up their son.
Desperate post of Nina in Instagram became cry of the soul.
Woman called society stop poking a finger at children who look different than othersbecause their soul suffers from it. Today, under the hashtag # I'm learning to see a soul more than 4,000 posts have already been posted - stories similar to the story of Nina Zlobina.
Not only moms and dads of "special" guys joined the action, but also teachers who work with such children.
They argue that the distinction between "normal" and "other" is created artificially by the state, the education system, and officials, who actually prohibit a disabled child from realizing himself in an ordinary school, which limits his choice of future profession and sphere of realization.
Diagnosis and disability is not a sentence. And you need to start with the attitude of the state to children with special needs.
It is noteworthy that mothers-fathers of perfectly healthy children, who are also confident that modern Russian society is very cruel towards disabled children, have joined the parents' flash mob of parents.
Protesters hope that their call will reach the authorities and lawmakerswho are seriously thinking about creating a new legal framework that does not limit the ability of people with disabilities.
