“She was a very serious child with a disability and had no help.
“He was very autistic, he didn’t talk, he was just screaming and he was agitating.
“I felt an extraordinary sorrow for her and I deserve to have done more to help her.
“I saw her a little with other adults, without others, and with nothing closed.”
