“Instead of being monitored and overseen, he and his family were poorly treated with their concerns not taken seriously,” Mr Mohan said. He noted that the boy’s parents suffered significant distress and the non-treatment of the boy’s ADHD symptoms caused more difficulties for him at school and at home. Assessing compensation at €25,000, Mr Mohan said there must be an uplift because of how the boy “was treated throughout the system”.
