A child in crisis since the day he was born

I WORKED with Christopher O’Driscoll during my employment as a HSE social care worker in Pathways, Cork.

I feel the need to share my views regarding his tragic case. I had a good working relationship with Christopher and he will always have a permanent place in my heart.

Christopher was an articulate, highly emotional, intelligent young person with a great sense of humour. However, he felt unloved and unwanted by most, and had no significant carer in his life from a young age.
