I write as the mother of a son who suffered with psychosis, and who had to battle with mental health services to have him receive the treatment he needed. I am impressed and astounded by Celeste Calocane (Mental health system is broken, says mother of Nottingham triple killer, 14 May). She insisted the system was broken, and her evidence clearly illustrated that.
On top of everything else she has gone through trying to navigate the system, fearing for the life of the son she loved when he was so unwell, and the terrible outcome that followed, she then had to experience the ordeal of being examined about her role in not preventing the outcome. It was horrible to watch, and she handled it so well and so strongly. She is an impressive and outstanding woman.
