About this ebook
On July 4th 2013, Connor Sparrowhawk, also known as Laughing Boy or LB, was found dead in a specialist NHS unit. Connor, who had autism and epilepsy, had a seizure while in the bath and no member of staff was on hand to stop him from drowning. An entirely preventable death.
Sara Ryan presents a frank, sometimes funny and touching account of her son's early life and preventable death and the unfolding #JusticeforLB campaign. This serves as a wake-up call to all of us and asks: can we really claim that we respect the life and dignity of learning disabled people?

If u read her blog you will see that the nurses are decent people. There are many people who get self righteously angry online but few of them are willing to work in the NHS.

The nurses who neglected him should be jailed for 10 years to send a message that it's not acceptable to neglect disabled patients ever! I hope your in heaven with God now Connor and happy 😫😫😫😫😫
