Disabled Boy’s Ipad Stolen In Burglary
Please share widely in case anyone can help.
Police are searching for burglars who took a badly-needed iPad from the home of a 10-year old disabled boy in Etchingham
Between 7pm on Thursday 16 April and 10am on Tuesday 21 April, a house in Burgh Hill, Etchingham, was broken into, and two large tvs, an Xbox360, a pair of wireless headphones and an iPad were stolen.
The iPad is used by the family’s ten-year old son, who has a condition known as global development delay together with autism, and cannot speak. His only form of ready communication with his family is via his use of a communication tool known as Proloquo, on the iPad which is contained in a bulky black casing.
The boy’s mother Vicky Stuart said; “It is especially distressing as there are over three years of home videos and personal photo symbols built up on my son’s iPad which are not easily replaced, and without which his world is much more confusing. He is now more isolated than ever”.
Detective Constable Darren Jones of the East Sussex Priority Crime Team said: “If anyone has any information about this burglary, and in particular if you know about any of the stolen items being offered for sale, please contact us via 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call 101, quoting serial 394 of 21/4. You can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 
0800 555 111 FREE.”
