On December 26, 2014, Roman rode out of his driveway on his brand new electric scooter, and was fatally hit by an inattentive, speeding car.
Roman Alexander Martinez was diagnosed with ADHD and an anxiety disorder at a very young age. In second grade, Roman was severely bullied, was placed on Home/Hospital Instruction (one-to-one instruction provided at the home or hospital by the school district) and was prescribed many medications. The bullying continued for more than five years. When Roman was eight years old, we sought the help of an advocate, Christopher Russell with Advocates on Behalf of Children, who knew our parental rights and the services Roman needed and is entitled to by law.
In January 2014, Roman transferred to a new school and acclimated very well. Soon after, he stopped taking all anti-depressant medications. When school started in the fall, of 2014, he was a happy boy and making good progress. The Frostig teachers said he was thriving, cheerful and more content than ever.
