It’s a scene WYTV has shown you many times before in our Keeping Kids Safe segment, the unfortunate reality of children living with the auto-immune disease known as PANDAS.

A Canadian documentary called “Stolen Childhood” puts a spotlight on the disease, highlighting the impact on families, their journey and the consequences of medical misdiagnosis. It was shown last week at the Davis Family YMCA.

The film’s producers say their overall goal is to educate not only current medical professionals but those up and coming in the field, and to offer hope to families still struggling to get a diagnosis for their child.

A hope that’s also shared by local PANDAS families.
