• I have known Mario for several years now and he is in an unfortunate position. It is surprising however to now see that someone cares for him. Mario has been in problems for several years for a variety of offences but he was never charged before. I know officers that have a rapport with him and have tried over the years to get him help; unfortunately there was none available in our modern country. His family would not try to help and could not have cared less for him. While the state may have let him down so did his family as there only assistance was to ask the state to deal with him. Mario is intelligent and just wants to belong. When no one else is there the streets take over. I am sure that his immediate and extended family can provide for him to improve his quality of life - Anon
