Mother wants answers as to why son died

When Ikram Said’s son was placed in seclusion for up to 23 hours a day, he begged her to hire a lawyer and get him out of Mental Health Centre Penetanguishene, she said today.

But she never listened to the pleas of 22-year-old Kulmiye Aganeh.

“I thought he was safe in the government’s hands,” the mother said at a media conference where she raised questions about the circumstances of her son’s death five months ago.
