Excessive Demand: Autistic Son

Shik Dept: But all their hard work may have been for naught, according to The Star. Tae-Shik Maeng, his wife Hee-Eun Jang, and sons Jung-Joo John , 19, and Sung-Joo, 14, moved from Seoul to Moncton, N.B., in 2003, shortly after Sung-Joo was diagnosed with autism and epilepsy. The family believed the clean east-coast air would help improve the boy s health and since arriving in Canada from South Korea eight years ago, the Maengs have been model residents they have built a successful business, are putting their kids through school and are paying their taxes. The family is facing deportation later this month because Citizenship and Immigration Canada has decided their 14-year-old autistic son will place an excessive demand on the country s health and social services. As reported in the news.
