[00:00:00]When he came out of Winterbourne View, as I mentioned also that the institution was closed after Panorama aired, how was he? What do you think because there was a lot of restraint, for example, there was physical abuse as well that had taken place?

[00:00:20]>> Absolutely.

[00:00:21]>> Um, go ahead.

[00:00:23]>> He was a very changed person. He was not the son that I had known. He was distressed. He was anxious. He self-harmed very badly and still does to this day. He was on antipsychotic medication that we've not been able to wean him from.

[00:00:44]His whole life had been turned on its head for over two years.

[00:00:49]>> By what he had gone through.

[00:00:51]>> Yes, how could he make sense of that?

[00:00:54]It was hard enough for him to make sense of normal life, but but everything that he'd known, all the familiar people, places, routines had been disrupted and removed from him.

[00:01:06]Including his family.
