Just read, not verified, that he was admitted to a mental hospital recently....
The poor boy, I hope he is able to be helped.
I worked in Special Education for almost 25 years and have a special needs son, not having been around this young man but from my experience, I can say it was much worse on him than if he was not special needs.
It broke my heart when he kept saying, “I thought he was my friend.”
So trusting and so easily broken.
