Firstly do not, any circumstances, feed his sense of persecution by encouraging him to believe he is being abused. He is not. His doctors are very kind, and are having to put up with some very difficult behaviour.</div><div dir="auto" style="color:rgb(49,49,49);font-family:'-apple-system','helvetica neue';font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:1px;text-decoration:none"><br></div><div dir="auto" style="color:rgb(49,49,49);font-family:'-apple-system','helvetica neue';font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:1px;text-decoration:none;font-size:1rem">He is being given such a small dose of any medications that the chances of side effects are zero. Any claims otherwise are simply false. He has been experiencing distressing sounding events, certainly, every one of which is entirely explainable by the levels of anxiety brought on by his condition. And, it should be noted, he has been experiencing for a long time before he was taken into the hospital so they cannot possibly be a result of the medication. He has had many batteries of tests for all kinds of conditions. All of which have come back completely clear. Please do not be taken in by the stories he is writing to you. They are demonstrably false. We will not be sharing any details further of why, and ask that you do not speculate.</div><div dir="auto" style="color:rgb(49,49,49);font-family:'-apple-system','helvetica neue';font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:1px;text-decoration:none"><br></div><div dir="auto" style="color:rgb(49,49,49);font-family:'-apple-system','helvetica neue';font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:1px;text-decoration:none;font-size:1rem">We need to make you aware of one issue which may place you in legal jeopardy were you to amplify it. He had been making false accusations against one of his “enemies” including among others claims that he “had him sectioned”. This, as you will know if you care to look up English law, is nonsensical. A person is sectioned because two independent qualified doctors and a social care advocate, under an highly regulated legal framework, all agree that the subject is in serious harm’s way or may harm others. In other words, neither you, his family, or anyone else can “have someone sectioned”. However, this and other claims that he has made against one of the targets of his claims is potentially legally actionable. So, under no circumstances should you pass it on, amplify it or otherwise comment on this, or indeed any other matter to do with this case. You not only expose Luke to legal jeopardy by doing so, but yourselves as well.</div><div dir="auto" style="color:rgb(49,49,49);font-family:'-apple-system','helvetica neue';font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:1px;text-decoration:none"><br></div><div dir="auto" style="color:rgb(49,49,49);font-family:'-apple-system','helvetica neue';font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:1px;text-decoration:none;font-size:1rem">Finally, were you to read Luke’s “Will”, you would see references about his child. Obviously it is inappropriate for him to have named his child in a public setting - so it is critical that you do not share or amplify his post. His child is perfectly safe with her mother and will, of course, remain so until she reaches her majority.</div><div dir="auto" style="color:rgb(49,49,49);font-family:'-apple-system','helvetica neue';font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:1px;text-decoration:none"><br></div><div dir="auto" style="color:rgb(49,49,49);font-family:'-apple-system','helvetica neue';font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:1px;text-decoration:none;font-size:1rem">We entirely understand that Luke’s communications may seem distressing - but are simply reflections of his illness.
