hi! i have a problem which seems quite
complex to me. my brother has a long and
serious juvenile history which has caught
up with him. homicide at age 15, stealing,
moving with the wrong crowd, drugs and
hash. about 10 months ago after a run in
with the police, he got diagnosed with
schizzophrenia. since he has been on
medication, things are nearly normal with
no juvenile behaviour at all, yet all the
people around us, especialy those with any
knowledge of the police in our country are
insisting that we send him abroad
permanantly otherwise the police will cook
up charges to put on him in order to
extract bribes from us which we cannot
afford at all. if this happens, it means
15 years behind bars for my brother. after
a lot of hard work, we have been able to
secure a work visa for him to work abroad
with our family friends yet we are nervous
about sending him. u see, he still hasnt
taken the responsibility for taking his
medicine seriously, we are afraid, what
hapens if he has a relapse! on top of
that, my mother found out today that he
still takes sleeping pills in very high
doses. we cant keep him in this country
for obvious reasons and we are afraid of
what might happen if we send him. can
anyone give me advice about what we should
do? should we send him or not?
