Six-Year-Old Deaf Schoolboy On ISIS Hit List

Deaf News: A six-year-old schoolboy facing deportation has begged to stay in the United Kingdom because he is on the ISIS hit list for being Deaf.



LONDON, UK -- The Sun - Lawand Hamadamin fled Iraq with his parents and brother last year after learning that the sick terrorist organisation had ordered the killing of disabled kids by lethal injection.



There were also rumours Al-Qaeda and Islamic State were recruiting young people with disabilities to become suicide bombers.



Mum Golbahar Hussein, 33, and dad Rebwar Golbahayh, 35, set off on a treacherous journey across Europe with Lawand, who was born profoundly Deaf and unable to communicate, and his nine-year-old brother Rawa.



In order to protect Lawand's cochlear implant during his perilous trip across the water, his parents put a plastic bag on his head.



They then spent a year living in a French refugee camp before they came to Britain and settled in Derby.



Lawand got a place at the Royal School for the Deaf in the city, where he has learned to communicate via British Sign Language.



His parents thanked the school for "saving their son's life" and he has continued to thrive with his teachers saying he is making "extraordinary progress."



But this week, his shocked parents were told the devastating news by the Home Office that they are now likely to be deported to Germany and warned they'll be given a week to leave on January 9.



Staff at the non-maintained residential special school say they are heartbroken at the prospect of Lawand leaving.



They are now working with solicitors supported by charity DeafKidz International in a bid to reverse the decision by the Home Office.



Head teacher Helen Shepherd said: "Lawand's family are understandably devastated that they are being deported, especially since he has made such extraordinary progress in the few months he has been with us.



"When Lawand arrived at the school in September, he had no means of communicating with anyone - even his own family.



"In the very short time he has been with us, Lawand has made exceptional progress.



"He is signing incredibly well and we have been so proud of him - he has made good friends, has grown in confidence and exceeded all our expectations.



"It is inconceivable that he should be removed from the school when he has only just begun.



"Lawand's cochlear implant processor has broken and so he has no functioning hearing aid yet.



"He has an appointment this week so that he can get a referral to the Nottingham Cochlear Implant Centre.



"There is little chance that he will get that appointment before the New Year, by which time he could have gone."

MANCHESTER, UK -- The Channel 4 documentary has single handedly restored our faith in humanity, after the TV show introduced us to single mum Rebecca, her sister Amy and her three-year-old son.



9 years ago Rebecca had an unexplained loos of hearing in her right ear. Then, as if that wasn't enough, 16 weeks ago she tragically went deaf in her left ear too.

"I've had to learn new ways of trying to communicate with him" explains a defiant Rebecca, as she bravely battles her condition, to give her son the best possible life.

When the mother of one visited Manchester Royal Infirmary with her sister Amy as part of Breaking the Silence Live, we see her hear again for the first time since she lost her hearing, thanks to the help of a cochlear implant.



The show has clearly struck a cord with viewers who have taken to Twitter to discuss the importance of communicating with Deaf people so that they don't feel alienated.



People take being able to hear for granted, have the upmost respect for my deaf family and all they've achieved #breakingthesilence.

Deaf Paedophile Sisters Sexually Abused Boy

Deaf News: Deaf paedophile sisters sexually abused boy over 10 year period from age of six in United Kingdom.

WORCESTER, UK -- Sisters believed to be Britain's first Deaf female paedophiles have been told to expect "very significant sentences" for sexually abusing a six-year-old boy. Sick Julie Fellows, 30, and sister Jennifer, 32, repeatedly molested the youngster over a 14 year period. Worcester Crown Court heard the sisters first started abusing the boy when he was aged six in 2000.



Julie was 14-years-old when she lured the boy into a petrol station toilets where she touched her private parts. On another occasion she performed oral sex on the youngster, the court heard.



Julie was found guilty following a trial of indecently assaulting a boy aged six to nine between October 2000 and April 2004 in Leominster, and sexual activity with a boy aged 14 -16 between October 2008 and October 2010 in Hereford.



Jennifer admitted indecently assaulting a boy aged six to nine between October 2000 and April 2004 in Leominster, and inciting sexual activity with a boy aged 14-16 between October 2008 and October 2010 in Kington.



Prosecutor Simon Phillips said: "The allegations date back many years and the more serious of them when Julie was 14 and the victim was six.



"The behaviour was so frequent it became routine and he thought it was the norm."



"Julie later moved in with her fiancé Adam and the victim was sitting on the sofa with Julie watching TV while Adam was asleep," the prosecutor continued.



"She started a conversation with him about what used to happen and she put his hand down her trousers. "She told him he needed to lose his virginity and said 'Who would you rather lose it

to?'.



"She got him to get onto his knees and they had intercourse for a short period of time. She was between 22 and 24 and he was 14...Read More.

Deaf Children "Allowed To Engage In Sexual Activity" At School

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Children at a school for the Deaf were mishandled by staff, allowed to misbehave and engaged in sexual activity.



EXETER, UK -- BBC News: Devon and Cornwall Police are now investigating the claims made against Exeter Deaf Academy.



The BBC understands three staff members have been suspended, but the school would not confirm this.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

The academy said it would act "quickly if it is found that any improvements need to be made".



Restrain children: Sources from the inquiry told the BBC they received a letter from the whistleblower detailing claims which included staff drinking alcohol on residential trips.



It is claimed the drinking led to a lack of supervision of students who engaged in sexual activity.



The letter also alleges excessive force was used to restrain children, along with techniques that were not authorised by regulators.



The concerns were raised, the letter says, but not dealt with.



The allegations prompted Devon and Cornwall Police and Devon Social Services to launch an investigation.



Exeter Deaf Academy said: "We continue to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation by Devon County Council and Devon and Cornwall Police and cannot and should not comment until this is complete and the facts have been properly established.



"We care deeply about the welfare of our students, and will act quickly if it is found that any improvements need to be made at the Academy."



The academy - a mixed, residential facility that currently has 76 students aged between four and 24 - would not comment on whether or not any staff had been suspended.



Devon and Cornwall Police said: "We are not yet in a position to comment regarding whether there have been any criminal offences or other breaches of legislation, however, the safety of the students is paramount and we will work together to ensure that a thorough investigation is conducted."



Devon County Council said it was "working closely" with the police and the academy's chief executive.



The latest report by the regulator Ofsted, in February this year, was critical of the academy saying it "requires improvement".

Life and Deaf - BBC4 Documentary

VIDEO [CC] - BBC4 Documentary 'Life and Deaf' An immersive, experiential film in BSL about the Deaf world, with its unique humour and culture.



LONDON, UK -- An immersive, experiential film about the Deaf world, with its unique humour and culture - a world which most of us rarely encounter. The film is in British Sign Language. There is no score, no commentary, and none of the conventions of normal film-making.



The film follows some of the key characters who frequent St John's Deaf Club in north London as they face life's twists and turns and challenges.

The Costis are a big Deaf family. Tina Costi and her football-mad husband Marios are expecting a baby. For generations in Marios's family, boys are always born Deaf and girls are always born hearing. Will this new Costi baby break with tradition?



Like the Costis, Abigail also comes from a big Deaf family. She has just turned 30 and is about to make one of the biggest decisions of her life. She is considering undergoing surgery to have a cochlear implant fitted to help her deteriorating hearing, and also to better connect with her hearing friends. Abigail wants to be part of both worlds. But it's a controversial decision for her family, who proudly trace their Deaf Heritage back eight generations. How will this affect her relationship with both her family and the wider Deaf community?



At the heart of St John's Deaf Club is its football team. The rivalry between Deaf football teams is intense. Marios's brother Memnos is captain of the team. He eats, sleeps and breathes football. Passionate to the point of obsession, can he inspire his team to win the English Deaf Cup for the second time in a row?

Deaf Lifestyle - Oralism Versus Manualism

Deaf News: Isolating Deaf youngsters from the Deaf community might not be in their best interests in the United Kingdom.



Article by Sarah Lawrence from Slfirst magazine - States of the art hearing aids and cochlear implants might not translate to mainstream achievements.



Born into a hearing family and brought up in mainstream education, neither my parents or the teachers for the deaf, had any knowledge of the local Deaf community. In fact, in the same way that my ‘teacher for the deaf’ discouraged me from learning sign language, in many respects I was also advised not to have anything to do with the Deaf community.



Being strong willed and recognising that I was different to other children in the school (lots of them made sure I knew that), I went on to make my own mind up about what was best for me, my decisions differing markedly from what the ‘teacher of the deaf’ and social worker for the deaf, had suggested was in my best interest. Right or wrong, they were my decisions, and my life has been enriched by being involved in a wide range of Deaf community groups and activities ever since.



Because of my links to and involvement in the Deaf community, I have developed my own identity in life, I have friends who understand the issues I face every day, who support me, and I have people who share the passion I have for reaching a stage when society concentrates on what we can do, rather than the simple fact we cannot hear and might not be able to talk.



Being a part of the Deaf community, I learned all about Deaf sport and Deaf activities, and getting involved has meant that I have travelled all over the United Kingdom and internationally to take part in sport. Through these travels I have learned about Deaf life in other countries and had the chance to meet people who greet me as a long lost friend when we meet up again.



It’s not all chocolates and roses of course, as people face a wide range of issues and Deaf Club or a Deaf social event is a good place to seek help and advice about how to tackle that. Overwhelmingly though, having a Deaf identity and being a part of a Deaf community has been a huge positive in my life, adding great value, and helping me make sense of many of the problems and barriers I experience in my life. I knew and still know today, that those problems and barriers are not personal attacks on me... Read The Full Story.

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) have launched a new video version of its successful Underwear Rule guidance today to help keep Deaf children safe from sexual abuse.



The film is in British Sign Language and includes subtitles. It aims to teach Deaf children about the Underwear Rule and encourages them to share secrets that upset them with a trusted adult.

The successful campaign is designed to allow parents to start easy conversations with their children without having to mention scary words like sex or abuse. It teaches them that their privates are private and that their body belongs to them. See BSL video: https://youtu.be/lvD74L86Mr8

Bed Bug - Education and Awareness

VIDEO [CC] - Public education and awareness: Why bed bugs are making a comeback in the United States and United Kingdom.

These tiny parasites, better known as bedbugs, have spread through Los Angeles, New York and London over the past 60 years, Americans and Britishers thought they had vanquished bed bugs forever. They were wrong.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

Bed bugs have been an insanity-inducing staple of American life ever since the Mayflower. In 1926, infestations in hotels and apartments were so common that experts couldn't recall a time when they weren't a problem. People absolutely hated being bitten in the night by these tenacious bloodsuckers, but the bugs were seemingly impossible to eradicate.



Then, in 1939, a Swiss chemist named Paul Hermann Muller discovered the pesticide DDT, which proved staggeringly effective at killing insects. And, for decades thereafter, DDT and other chemical pesticides helped keep America's homes and hotels bed bug free.



But it didn't last. Since 2000, a new strain of pesticide-resistant bed bugs has been popping up all around the nation in 2009, there were 10,000 reported complaints in New York City alone. Apartment dwellers were waking up with mysterious bites and rashes on their skin and finding peppery flakes around their mattresses (bed bug poop). People couldn’t rid themselves of bed bugs no matter how often they did laundry or threw out their mattresses. Once the bugs invaded, it seemed, almost nothing can stop them.



The bed bug invasion is a skin-crawling story recounted in Brooke Borel’s riveting new book, Infested: How the Bed Bug Infiltrated Our Bedroom and Took Over the World (the book was partially funded by the Alfred Sloan Foundation). I called Borel, a science journalist, to hear more about how bed bugs made a comeback, why they’re so tenacious, and whether we might ever get rid of them again.



Brad Plumer: I’d half assumed bed bugs were a very recent phenomenon, so it was fascinating to see that even the ancient Egyptians were trying to cast spells to ward them off.



Brooke Borel: Yeah, one thing that really struck me was the similarities throughout history. When the bed bug resurgence happened in the last 15 years, we had all these newspaper articles saying, oh my god, they’re in the movie theaters, there in this place, in that place. But when I went back and read some of the historical material, that’s always been the case.



You can go back and read descriptions of these old beds with jars around the legs that contained paraffin to ward off bed bugs. And that’s just an old school version of these little traps you can buy today to put under your bed and capture the bugs. It’s just an old story that’s been repeating itself forever.



BP: Now, there was this 60-year period after World War II where we’d vanquished bed bugs. How did that happen?



BB: A big part of that story happened in 1939, when a Swiss chemist [Paul Hermann Muller] discovered the insecticidal properties of DDT. These were the first synthetic insecticides, and they were way more effective than the natural botanicals or elemental poisons we had been using previously...

Creating Music Accessible For Deaf Children

VIDEO [BSL/CC] - BBC News - Creating music accessible for Deaf children.



Lying on a sound box: Deaf children listen to music - The National Orchestra of Wales has staged a series of workshops and concerts for Deaf people, many of them children, to explore how it is possible to experience music without being able to hear it fully.



The National Orchestra of Wales has been staging unique workshops and concerts for Deaf people. Radio 4 reporter Andrew Bomford discovers children listening to music in a very physical way and speaks to those behind it. Here he blogs about his emotional day.

I'll admit that I am a bit weepy sometimes. I cried at the end of Les Miserables, so the moment that the Welsh National Orchestra string section got started, and Katherine Mount stood there, signing and singing to her profoundly deaf - but clearly enraptured - ten year old son Ethan, I wasn't surprised to feel myself choking up again. Watch Katherine Mount singing Ethan's Song on YouTube



It was towards the end of a long, joyful, but emotionally draining day with the orchestra and children from The Ysgol Maes Dyfan special school in Barry near Cardiff. Some of them are almost completely deaf and others have serious hearing problems, but the joy and enthusiasm shown by the children in their appreciation of the music they were experiencing was wonderful to see. ...

Communication Barriers In Sex Education Put Deaf People At Risk

LONDON - A lack of resources in sex education for young, Deaf people is leaving many without the knowledge or skills to keep safe and recognise healthy sexual relationships.



There is a telling moment in a documentary called Snapshot: Dicing with Sex when a group of young Deaf people are shown cards with different words on them. They all instantly recognise the words Facebook, Wii and YouTube, but the words syphilis, genital warts and hepatitis ABC are met with blank expressions.



Broadcast in sign language on digital TV in 2010, the documentary revealed a remarkably uninformed attitude to sex, with several young Deaf people saying they preferred not to use condoms, despite experiencing sexually transmitted infection (STIs) or pregnancy.



The charity Deafax says Deaf people's lives are being put at "extreme risk" when it comes to sex education because their communication needs are not being addressed.



A survey for the charity's Education & Advice on Relationships & Sex  (Ears) campaign found 35% of Deaf people received no sex education at all while at school. Everyone else surveyed – 65% of respondents – said that what information they did get was inaccessible.
