After the intense reversals of the ‘Menino da Cage’ case, the AssisCity Portal team reached out to Christian Freitas, who was called upon by those close to him to help him, and took an instrumental role in helping the young man, especially after he was exposed. He suffered in order to combat the spread of new false information.
According to Christian, a close friend named Paolo kept in touch with Lucas, helping him in any way he could, but he sought help from the woman of Assisi, who then learned of the young man’s affair.
“At the time I was awaiting surgery and that’s why I asked the counselor to help me and that’s when everything took on repercussions. Paolo and Carol and I took charge of the case and are doing our best to help Lucas,” he explained.
She told the reporting team that Lucas was starting to have health problems. Cristian took him to Maria Isabel’s emergency room, but the young man did not accept treatment.
Afterwards, Christian contacted the Basic Health Unit (UBS) caring for Lucas, and the doctor put in a request for hospitalization. Consequently, he was referred to the Emergency Care Unit (UPA) of Assis, awaited a CROSS vacancy and was referred for clinical care at the Regional Hospital of Assis.
With Lucas hospitalized, Christian took charge of taking care of the young man’s home during this delicate period. It mobilized people familiar with the situation, and organized a task force to carry out a complete cleaning of the site and ensure its maintenance. The goal is to provide Lucas with adequate housing and restore his social coexistence, as he has spent a lot of time isolated within his home.
“Once he was in the hospital I was responsible for taking care of the house. I organized a joint effort with some people who were knowledgeable, we did all the cleaning and now we are going to work on maintaining Lucas’s home while he is in the hospital. We want to ensure that when he is in the hospital we ensure that he comes back and finds a suitable environment and capacity On resuming your life in the community,” Christian explained.
Luke’s case
The story of ‘Menino da Cage’, starring Assis resident Lucas, has gained significant repercussions in recent months after a local influencer revealed on her social networks the allegation that the young man was being held inside his home. The pseudonym “Menino da Cage” spread quickly, causing uproar and leading the case to be widely reported on television news and social networks.
However, in the same week, the Minister of Health and Social Assistance announced that Lucas had already received assistance from the relevant departmental teams, but it was up to him to accept the assistance. In addition, Lucas’ mother declared that the young man was free to leave the house whenever he wanted, but he chose to stay put.
