A 16-year-old boy in a local community is reportedly struggling with a severe mental health crisis, and many believe his father may be the only one who can help.
Last year, the boy’s admission to a university drew attention from his neighborhood.
A few months later, he surprised residents by purchasing his mother a brand-new ladies’ bicycle and renovating her small shop, stocking it with new items. His generosity quickly became the talk of the neighborhood.
Family Tensions Rise Over Financial Success
Despite the boy’s success, his father questioned his source of income. “Where’s this money coming from?” he reportedly inquired.
The boy explained that he earned it through Forex and cryptocurrency trading, but his father refused to believe him.
The father went as far as forbidding the bike from entering their home.
This decision caused a rift in the family, with his mother accusing him of jealousy and attempting to block their son’s progress. The father remained silent but firm in his stance.
Crisis Escalates, Father Still Refuses
Two weeks ago, the boy’s behaviour reportedly became erratic, alarming the family and neighbours.
Concerned for his wellbeing, he was taken to a spiritual centre where the caretakers insisted the father must be present to perform crucial rites.
The father, however, refused to attend. Community members have since criticised him, calling him a “bad father” for not supporting his son during a time of crisis.
Neighbours say the situation has left the family divided, and the boy’s condition continues to worry residents who once admired his early achievements.
