I ended feeling very depressed after reading the article in the Evening Standard: 'Losing Freddy'. To make a long story short: In the article the father tells how his son, who was an academically gifted child and a beautiful boy gravitated into the wrong crowd in the school when he was 13, started trying drugs and died a few weeks ago, age 18 of a heroin overdose. The parents tried to help him and sent him twice away; The first time to a Wilderness School in the US known as Brat Camp, he came back fit and healthy, however after a few months he started seeing his friends again and relapsed. The second time they sent him to a clinic in South Africa, he came back fit and healthy again, unfortunately he relapsed again and died of a Heroin Overdose later on. It is very sad to see how a child with a huge potential became addicted to drugs and died so young. I kept the article, hoping to show it to my kids when they are all enough to understand the danger of drugs and the influence of bad friends. As parents, we have to be very vigilant of our children, making sure they don't get into the wrong crowd, once they get into them and start experimenting with drugs, it may be too late. I Thought I share this article with you, hope you read it.
