Brief Answer:
keep trying

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sorry


I am from Chennai.


If you see the net. Or. Go to any big hospital them may give you the contact number of councillors.


Nimhans also may help.



I can understand your situation but a similar experience with one of my relatives where the mother sitting with her son herself and not leaving him in the hostel,

and taking personal intervention helped .!!!

It is a mental torture for parents but pl keep trying !



Good luck

Dr Uma
