His son Matthew, now 23, was born with several situations, including autism, ADHD, epilepsy and many learning disability.

At the age of 18 months, he was detected the Valproate syndrome of the fetus, indicating that the drug taken by his mother was the cause of their problems. Mrs. Cox has been campaigning for compensation since then.

It is believed that thousands of children in the UK have been abandoned with disability since the 1970s due to Valproate.

Instructions for doctors – and, recently, the patient’s leaflets – say that Valproate should not be used during pregnancy unless there is a safe option and only after careful discussion of risks.

Before undergoing breeding treatment, Mrs. Cox was advised that it was “fine” to continue taking Valproate.

“Then to find out that the medicine you have taken in good faith, the problems that your child has played for his life is a terrible thing,” he told the BBC.

Mr. Cox has a job in a local bakery, but depends a lot on his mother.

“It can be a struggle many times,” he said. “I worry many times but I also worry about my mother. Obviously I love my mother.”

Mrs. Cox told the BBC that he was tired of lack of action from gradual governments.

“We are not getting small. I started it when I was 31 years old – I was 53 years old this year,” he said.

“I honestly think that the government wants parents to end, because children will not be able to fight for the prevention they need.”

In February 2024, a report by the Patient Safety Commissioner, Henrita Hughes stated that there was a “clear” and “necessary”, which needs to compensate both of the economically and otherwise the people who harm people.

More than a year has passed, and the government is still working on a reaction.

Mrs. Cox said: “We have pulled various governments over time and shouting at this point, where they have admitted that difficulties for more than 20,000 children were caused by this medicine.

“As we move forward, whatever we need is something for the loss of their ability.”

Recently, the Prime Minister’s questions were delayed by James Naish of Mrs. Cox’s MP, Labor, who represents Rakshkaliff.

Sir Keir Star replied that it was “clearly an important case”.

“We will provide an update on the report of the Patient Safety Commissioner on the initial occasion of the House,” the Prime Minister said.

Naish said: “We are all working hard. There is a huge amount on the government plate. It is already dealt with big scams like infected blood scams.

“We just want to ensure that this is one of those issues.”

Despite two decades of failures, Mrs. Cox is hoping that she will soon hear some positive news.

“Labor government was really helpful in really opposition. Let’s see they have been erected from their words,” he said.

“As a society, we are judged by how we treat our weakest people and children affected by Walproate are our weakest. They need to help them move forward.”
