A B.C. mom said she's been forced to call the police on her son upwards of 25 times over the past year, when he slips into episodes of psychosis.
A West Kelowna mother is at her at her wits end after she was once again forced to call police on her mentally ill son earlier this month, which led to the bomb squad being called in.
Her son, who's 25 years old, was diagnosed with high-functioning autism at a young age, but she says his illness has progressed to schizophrenia in recent years. He regularly experiences episodes of psychosis, and police are called to their home often, both by Chris and by neighbours. They've attended more than five times this year alone.
Chris' son was taken to the intensive care psychiatric unit at Kelowna General Hospital, while Chris was forced to leave her home until the next day, when the Explosive Disposal Unit arrived. She says she was later told by police that there was nothing found in her home that could have been used to make a bomb.
“There's no help for me, there's no counselling for me, there's no support for me, there's none for him,” Chris said. “We don't throw our animals on the streets, that's animal cruelty. We don't put our elderly on the street, but we're throwing our mentally ill children to the wolves, where they can become addicted, they can self medicate,” Chris said. “This is not a solution, we're destroying families and people.
