SON DOES NOT DESERVE SENTENCE FOR USING NEEDED PAINKILLERS

Re: Richard Paey

Editor: Please, please do not send my son away. He was always a good
boy, and instead of a good life, now he has to put up with pain and
life in bed. Life was rough for him since that terrible accident and
then the back operation.

When I read about bad people who get away with really hurting people,
then consider my son, who never hurt anyone but himself. It's not
fair. He should be home with his family who loves him and takes care
of him.

I am 81 years old; how much longer will I be able to be with him?
There should be a different law out there to help people. He was
crying out for help, but he never got it. Nobody cared. It still looks
like nobody cares.

I hope my prayers come true: that he'll be home and taken care of.
