'I fear my son to death': Kimberley mom begs for arrest of her drug addict son
Colville - “He is my son but I fear him to death. I have left my job and stopped leaving the house out of shame and fear that he will follow me to embarrass me in public.”
That was the cry for help from a Colville mother on Sunday, who was pleading to be saved from her 25-year-old drug-addicted son, who she says is terrorising her. The troubled mother is living in fear and has called on the authorities to help save her family from her son, who has warned them to sleep with one eye open.
The 47-year-old mother does not know what to do any more as she has lost faith in the police, who she had called to rescue the family before her son set part of her house on fire on Saturday. The police only arrived the following morning after the house was already damaged. According to her, her son, who is a drug addict, has been in jail twice - for attempted murder and assault - but refuses to be rehabilitated.
