When she thinks about her son, Katrina remembers the little boy in early photos — not the man who died with a syringe in his arm
abc.net.au/news/plea-for-safe-injecting-room-in-melbourne-cbd/101385252When she thinks about her son Danial, Katrina Korver remembers the little boy in early photos — with wide eyes, a beaming smile and the world at his feet.
Among other issues, parents and staff at a nearby primary school have been forced to contend with users injecting in full view of children. "I understand the concerns of the traders in Melbourne CBD; however, the problem still exists and will exist if drugs are still easily accessible.""When a drug user or heroin addict gets the drug in hand their whole body is screaming out for it," she said."Too many young people are dying that should not have to.
She said her son had displayed a fascination for the drug culture from an early age and despite ongoing pleas from his parents, started dabbling in drugs in high school and first tried heroin in grade 10."When Danial used the facilities at Richmond he was looked after, counselled, and offered treatment without judgement," Ms Korver said.
