Dr. Lara Jones, a pediatric ICU doctor, stresses the urgent need for proper medical care. #DrLaraJones #ChildHealth #Detention Dr. Lara Jones highlights the child's critical condition, including a swollen belly and poor appetite, which may require hospitalization. "It's not appropriate care for a child," she states, emphasizing the need for a pediatric evaluation and immediate release from the facility. — A 5 year old autistic child in detention hasn’t had a bowel movement in 11 days. His belly is swollen and he’s not eating. Severe constipation in children can lead to serious complications and sometimes requires hospitalization for a clean-out. What concerns me most is that it’s not clear he’s being seen by a pediatrician. I’m a pediatric ICU doctor, and I’ve documented multiple cases of medical neglect involving d€ta1n€d children in Dilley. I fear this is another one. Children are not tiny adults. They need pediatric specialists. Gael deserves the standard of care we provide every child. 🚨🚨🚨ACTION ITEMS 🚨🚨🚨 To those who want to help but don’t know where to start, here’s what you can do: 1. Call your senators and reps and demand that Gael Valencia in Dilley detention facility gets the specialized pediatric care he needs and demand his immediate release! 2. Text GO ESH to 50409 to automatically send a message to your congress member and senators calling for these inhumane detention centers to be shut down. 3.
