Laura Craciun: A Son's Mental Illness and a System That Failed Him

When I tried to say to him, you know, maybe you need some help, he was looking at me like I was crazy, that there was something wrong with me. So when you see it and you hear it for the first time, you'll never forget it. And most people go a lifetime never face-to-face with something like this, especially with someone you know. So it was very scary.
