"I went out and the carer came and took my son out in this snow like this without a jacket. And look at the carer, she's got a jacket. See this is what I go through as a mother of an autistic adult. I don't know what would happen if I had gone to the office today and this boy stays without jacket.
"The carer took Tade out without his jacket in the snow. Found them on the road while driving home. This is what we go through and why we beg them to let us choose our own carers. They get paid a lot to look after my child."
