his sleeve he just adored social situations he loved to sing from a very young age music was part of our life and part of what he he adored and what i miss most about bernie is kamen it always give me a hug there that i've known him a hug i still think to this day he's going to walk to the door we were driving not too long ago nancy myself and others i'm here and i look in the backseat and he was sleeping and i went to look to see of brennan was there just out of habit if he was sleeping until i saw brennan walk out of this house he was very robotic. brennan where are you going it's ok mom i just gotta go put on his winter coat brennan it's hot out today it's ok mom i just gotta go put on his winner halle said brennan it's hot out today you won't need that it's ok mom i've just got to go and i said i need you here for a minute no it's ok mom i've just got to go and that are he could say to me and this was
12:06 am
a child who was very articulate who would who is so verbose that sometimes he would just say ok enough an f.o. ready for days prior brennan went to the family doctor with a chest cold and inexplicably came home with a sample pack of the antidepressant supreme x. at the time of his disappearance he was exhibiting the classic signs of achrafieh zia i let him go out the door and that was the last time i saw him alive and he brought his rope from the local store and drove to a conservation area texted us. don't hang them self before long other teens across the canadian province of ontario would dying just like brennan did for terence young the problem hit close to home again when friends and constituents faced the same hora he in the mccartney's had my wife call my son
12:07 am
hard to the phone and we heard him say a few words and the bang the phone down and ran up stairs i was the queen of said we were and said what happened he said sarah curran hanged herself and we had met sarah who was eighteen years old just a few weeks before in our back deck they were part of a same social group and hopefully play guitar and sing songs and karaoke or whatever. because of my own research the first thing i thought about when an otherwise healthy young person dies is was a prescription drug involved and of course it was in fact there's no doubt my mind that paxil and withdrawing from paxil was the cause of sarah carlin's demise her suicide of a young woman hanging herself is an extremely rare thing to happen she went home one saturday night at two o'clock in the morning took off her makeup and hanged
12:08 am
herself in her parents' basement i reached out to turn to one point because i was in contact with the coroner's office i was starting to put pieces together it wasn't until after sarah is death. that we actually started to connect the dots were brief others we have a great connection with turns up got the inquest doctors wouldn't talk to us after we fought hard for an inquest because we needed to understand and after syria had died then we started doing research on the drug that's why i really found out about the drug that's the first time we realised that paxil one of the side effects was suicidal thinking is videotape of the coroner's council saying on the very first day of the inquest we will show that paxil didn't play a part in their carlin's death well the whole point of the inquest was to see whether or not antidepressants played a part in series death the courts acknowledge that this medication can increase
12:09 am
thoughts of suicide in particular patients but they don't think that the medication played a role in sarah karl and that the inquest the odds were stacked against the condoms the jury i think was very courageous but they were specifically instructed by the coroner that they couldn't actually find paxil as a cause the jury made twelve key recommendations these were detailed recommendations to prevent similar deaths six of them were aimed at the drug industry and of the drug company so if they didn't think that paxil caused or played a critical role in sarah carlin's death they certainly wouldn't put six recommendations aimed at the pharmaceutical industry in there are a good decision. rejoinder forty pounds of fury oh goodness yes and i was not easy to deal with my son joseph at that time was fifteen years of age extremely ill it didn't matter what it was very very violent the drop of

a pin would set me off you could actually say he would be everything that a schoolyard shooting is made out of. in the years after debbie steffen drove the family's nine hundred ninety into a raging river with her children inside the mental states of both autumn string him and her brother joseph steffen deteriorated whether the cause was genetics or sheer trauma they both were diagnosed with bipolar disorder just like mom joseph in particular seemed headed for disaster he was just a sweetheart but boy when he hit puberty he he really went over and became incredibly manic and incredibly violent and his mania he was he was scary my dad was scared joseph was medicated with lithium i believe he was taking seven hundred fifty milligrams of of lithium and he was up to nine hundred milligrams of lithium . for a period of time to try and control it was i having huge mood swings yeah that stuff
12:11 am
definitely started i mean i've been through a lot of pain with the death of my mother and various events that happened in my life after my mother had committed suicide. i was the most violent person that i knew and i used to wander the streets at night and i'd go pick fights with the local people and i had this aluminum bat that i had found and i beat it against the curb so it was just jag it in torn up and you know that was my weapon of choice and i mean i'm lucky i never touched anybody with that thing. my children are already saying to me come on. you've got to get them out of the house he's going to kill somebody you've got to do something that didn't matter what we threw at this situation it wasn't going to get better and i'm going to lose him to a suicide or he's going to have to be institutionalized

12:22 am
in direct conflict with the forces belonging to a major turkish nato ally namely the united states washington is known to have some two thousand special forces on the ground in syria and while none of them are thought to be in the afrin area they are deployed amongst various kurdish enclaves that include the town of man bridge now man bridge is controlled by us that kurdish syrian fighters at the same time we are hearing from the turkish president that more than two hundred and fifty syrian kurds as well as islamic state fighters have been killed by the turkish army and allied forces in the past few days these figures are being disputed by the kurdish side who is also accusing and career of civilian casualties this despite the fact that we are hearing from turkey that they are trying to avoid civilian deaths as far as possible now the american president
12:23 am
donald trump has called for and is urging a deescalation and a limit in the military operation that and create is conducting in northern syria all of this came to a head over the past few days after the united states and now. and that it was training and establishing a border security force that would comply as some thirty thousand personnel most of them could be deployed along the beach to syrian iraqi border and from what we're hearing on the ground we do expect the military operation to grow and no doubt the casualty count will intensify. crowds have gathered in cities across europe to voice their anger over turkey's military offensive. i. just. in the german cities of berlin and cologne crowds waved kurdish flags demonstrators branded president want a terrorist and accuse him of killing civilians in africa meanwhile at least two
12:24 am

12:25 am
president controversial figure in the self but he plans to advance his syrian offensive to mung beach how much resistance is he going to encounter from kurdish forces there and how far could this escalate. well this could escalate into a whole new phase of the war. these are experienced well trained and well equipped by the u.s. forces the y.p. ji. and. yeah this this could get very very ugly and it could go on for a very long time. i think we have to hope the seems to be some kind of understanding between russia and syria and turkey it seems that the one has at least some kind of approval from russia and the syrian government to be doing what he's doing. and. while turkey
12:26 am
certainly has. a real desire to. you know to not have a kurdish independent enclave on its borders there there is a no secondary objective i think here which is to get the u.s. out of syria. i imagine that the syrian government perhaps the russians too are hoping that if the kurds find that the u.s. is not willing to defend them. that they will then work work something out with the syrian government to to have you know internal autonomy. maybe restore the borders to the
12:27 am
syrian government and the syrian military in effect restoring the sovereignty of a large part of syria while giving the kurds. you know an autonomous region which is you know which they want. no according to the u.n. at least twenty four civilians have been killed and five thousand displaced in the turkish offensive against. the kurds there in northern syria do you think that there's any possibility that this operation could backfire on turkey well yes it could because you know it's much easier to start a war than it is to to end one and. if they get into prolonged. combat with kurdish forces over i mean you know after in man be are just two and claves really
12:28 am
but there's a much larger area extending all the way east to the iraqi border that is now controlled by by the white p.g. the whole the whole enclave of. and you know if if if turkey and fighting a war. all the way across that whole area. you know this could get very very ugly and. a lot a severely a lot more civilians could be. killed by by the turkish turkish air strikes and turkish artillery fire and. and likewise on the other side of the border with the kurds fighting back nicolas the it's interesting you know the big elephant in the room we have nato allies against each other so to
12:29 am
speak the u.s. president has warned turkey against further escalation in syria and any actions that could lead to a confrontation with the u.s. do you think the president everyone is taking that warning seriously at all. i don't know i think quite honestly he probably. at this point would take the views of the russian and syrian government's more seriously because ultimately. you know the not a whole that the u.s. can do yes they have two thousand and special forces and other forces on the ground there and they. you know they they've been bombing islamic state it's been the heaviest heaviest bombing by the u.s. anywhere for a very long time bombing mosul and rock other areas. but you know that the u.s.
12:30 am
is not really in a position to militarily take on the turkish army in northern syria so you know what what secretary james mattis has said is that the u.s. purpose the u.s. reason for staying in syria at this point past the defeat of isis is to prevent syria regaining control of all its territory you know he's being quite explicit about that. that depends on the kurds remaining. allied to the us and willing to too willing to maintain what was really. a temporary expedient even for the u.s. to to use these kurdish forces against islamic state.
