00:00 Christian has been missing for more than 3 months and he hasn't felt the 12 years
00:05 since he left his home.
00:08 The child has a heavy past and a dark past.
00:15 Third of the 5 siblings is Christian.
00:19 The story of his mother, Maricel, whose real name is not known,
00:22 Christian dreams of finishing his studies and become a basketball player.
00:28 He's a talented kid.
00:30 That's why I said, "Son, this makes me feel proud that my son is not just a consumer."
00:38 But, according to her, her son's behavior changed
00:42 after a LGBTQ member molested her in a computer shop in 2021.
00:49 Some of their friends were molested. We brought them to the bar.
00:53 The family of Christian filed a case and the suspect was immediately imprisoned.
00:58 They also asked the child's expert.
01:02 This is where we learned that Christian has Intermittent Explosive Disorder or IED.
01:08 A condition that can cause traumatic experience
01:11 where his anger becomes aggressive and can't be stopped by humans.
01:16 Show me your face.
01:19 He gets angry. He gets a little bit of pain in his body.
01:23 He gets hurt. He gets sick. He gets whatever he wants.
01:29 But Christian didn't want to give him medicine.
01:33 That's why in February this year, he was released from prison.
01:36 But Maricel doesn't give up on finding her son.
01:43 Sir, please help my son.
01:46 She guided every young man who could possibly go to her son
01:50 until she found a guy, Christian,
01:54 who was being held under a bridge in Olongapo City with other young men.
01:59 It hurts. It hurts so much. I feel like I'm going to faint.
02:03 That's why I'm fighting with them because I want them to study well.
02:09 So to make Maricel feel better, she went to the reception
02:15 in hopes of being able to be with her son again.
02:19 What I fear the most in what happened to him on the streets
02:23 is that he or she will be the one who will be hurt.
02:26 Maricel's mother fell asleep in the reception
02:32 in hopes of finding her son, Christian.
02:34 The young man was released after he refused to give his mother medicine
02:39 for his feeling of Intermittent Explosive Disorder.
02:44 In the reception and the presence of some social workers in the barangay,
02:49 Maricel was with a familiar face.
02:52 It was confirmed that Christian was the young man found by the barangay
02:59 being held under a bridge.
03:01 After more than three months of being held under a bridge,
03:13 he was able to hug his son again.
03:15 How are you?
03:18 Are you eating?
03:20 I saw him. I felt like I was in a dream.
03:24 I'm so happy.
03:27 But what he thought was a happy reunion between mother and son,
03:41 he was able to return to the absence and the suddenness of the child.
03:45 The child fell down while he was being taken to a Center for Youth Facility.
