A Systemic Failure of Compassion and Action Celeste Calocane, mother of triple killer Valdo Calocane, has shared her family's harrowing experience with the mental health system.
Her testimony reveals a disturbing pattern in which families are left to fend for themselves as they navigate a complex web of services meant to support them.
Calocane felt abandoned by the system, forced to monitor her son's deteriorating mental health while professionals stood idly by. "No one listened," she said, echoing through her testimony like a refrain.
