Mental Health Issues: Family Mental Health

Public Sympathy Dept: An Immigration and Refugee Board decided Tuesday not to deport Bolingo Etibako, who had garnered public sympathy after he lost four members of his family and his girlfriend in a Vancouver home torched by an arsonist in 2006, according to CBC. The IRB opted not to deport Etibako, 20, on compassionate grounds, citing the loss of his family, mental health issues and the future of his two-year-old son and a Congolese refugee will be allowed to stay in Canada for at least the next four years, despite his conviction for robbery. In 2008, Etibako was convicted of robbery. As reported in the news.
