Holly Robinson Peete Instagram – 🚨(warning slide 3 may be disturbing)🙏🏾🌹💔💙Sweet 15 year old #RyanGainer was laid to rest this weekend. We felt blessed and honored to help the family with a few things pertaining to the service. Ryan LOVED the @dodgers and @lakers. He was adopted at 2 years old from an abusive situation… given a chance in the world by his amazing adoptive parents Sharon and Norman even though they were told he was “unadoptable” due to his epilepsy, crohns #autism and other behavioral issues. But they fought for him and provided a good life for him. They helped him mainstream in school. His brain was special. He had hopes and dreams for his future… For those of us who have children on the spectrum, we know that there can be episodes and emotional outbursts from time to time. Controlling emotions can be really difficult for them. These can be especially difficult to navigate during the teenage years. Those of you have black children, living with autism you probably already know that your child is exponentially more likely to be killed or injured by law enforcement… Ms Sharon is in a wheelchair paralyzed on one side of her body and she really needed support that day…. San Bernardino sheriff knew the house well and if there had been any level of community policing communication or any program in place, a mental health trained official could accompany the call this tragic impulsive shooting does not happen. My RJ had his share of these sensory overload episodes and once in public where people threatened to call the police. The bottom line is there needs to be CHANGE in the way law-enforcement deals with these domestic autism and mental health issues when families need help with a loved one. DE-Escalation. Non Lethal Options. And then the way the family was treated afterward was unnecessarily cruel and heartless😡 Ryan should be alive today… Period. He’d come so far. Overcame so much just to be shot dead 3 times in his front yard.💔His mother wanted people to see him in his casket with all of his favorite things. He was just a sweet boy trying to navigate a world that didn’t value him Rest in Heaven, sweet Ryan. We are going to make change! #ryanslaw #justiceforryangainer
