Pannone revealed that he and his staff were already worried about the health of the boy at a young age, and noted that he seemed thin and often admitted that he was not allowed food at home.
He explained: “Everyone was really concerned with this child since he was five years old. You knew something was wrong. It was rude wrong.”
Teachers even brought him lunch after he saw him stealing or eating garbage cans. Pannone noted that they contacted the Ministry of Children and Families more than 20 times.
He saw the boy for the last in the early 2000s, and after the boy stopped going to school, Pannone was initially told that he was switching, but later he heard that he was being home schooled.
