Chilo doesn’t need West Gate…He needs MAWI….Social Workers where are you, please Stand UP!!….Sad story here….probably more like a “Matter Of Time” before he done something like this….
Bermuda needs more social workers than accountants!!
Please pray that the victim makes a full recovery.
Glad they caught the guy
Good! Now he can get the help that he needs
Hopefully he can get the much needed help he requires and know this is not sentencing him to a term at Westgate Correctional Facility. This young man suffers from a mental illness in which Bermuda prisons are not equipped to deal with. We have already seen an inmate who committed the same type of offence later go on to commit suicide at the Westgate Correctional Facility. Lets help this young man instead of just locking him up!!!
