An Aruba mother has publicly requested urgent addiction care for her son and protection for her household, according to a November 3 report by 24ora. Ermelyne Hoevertsz told the outlet that her family fears further violence and needs a lasting treatment response.
Family describes repeated crises
Hoevertsz described threats, damaged property and recurring aggression. She said police had intervened and that a period in detention had not resolved the underlying problems. These are the family’s allegations as reported by 24ora; the report does not establish a clinical diagnosis or provide an independent finding about each incident.
Appeal for treatment and protection
She called on justice authorities, mental-health services and Respaldo to help arrange suitable treatment and protect relatives living at home. Her appeal concerns access to sustained care rather than another temporary response. The source report does not include a response from those agencies or confirm that a placement has been secured.
