She sent him to school but as he started grade 6 the boy started skipping school and hanging out with the wrong group of friends. The family would always have to search for him and bring him home. He has been using Yaba for about 2 years since the age of 11. He would disappear for days and would sleep for 3 days straight when he finally came home.
