Oh, I was completely unaware he was taking drugs and losing his mind. Thanks.
Happy to help, Fwiend.
Apparently believes he is being tracked by satellites wherever he goes...

Where do you put him, then?
It's an amazing fall from grace. He really had everything and I just don't see how he can be helped. You'd almost hope by this stage that he hasn't wanted to help himself yet, because he's in real trouble otherwise.

I should volunteer my services. I know of a design for a special headpiece that will stop that. All you need is a metal colander, aluminium foil, metal coat hanger and some insulation tape.
Clearly he thought he was on a holiday and thought he would take photos of a temple.
Eagles should just buy a farm somewhere and let their drug rooted ex-champs wander around, like they do with the Melb Cup champs.
Probably need to be surrounded by a 20ft razor wire fence, with watch towers and guards armed with sniper rifles, but , you know tranquil otherwise.

Michael Johnson is devastated that this guy keeps stealing his crown as the number 1 drug affected footy player in WA.
Benny can be helped/saved.
Part of it relates to him leaving Perth and finding somewhere where he can be anonymous and not be hassled by the media, the fans or the police.
The other part is his mental stability. Get him the help he clearly needs.

Very sad situation, just proves you can have really great parents and oodles of good meaning support but they still go off the rails.
Feels like Amy Winehouse on repeat.

The thing that will stop him being 'hassled by the media, the fans or the police' is to clean himself up, not the other way round.
I don't agree with this. Not having a go at you or trying to make light of the situation but running / removing yourself from the problem doesn't work. He went to Esperance (pretty sure that was the locaiton) to do exactly this and got caught with gear up his bum... He needs serious medical/clinical help in my opinion and location is an irrelevant detail.

The location isn't the problem, it's acknowledging you have a problem and then seeking help for that problem that will save him.
statistics say that he will relapse many times and may never get off the gear. in fact its something like 10% of meth addicts actually get off it and stay off it for the remainder of their lives. The rest abstain for periods but relapse again and again. Alot will try to just work it around their lives (less self destructive, more oh well it is what it is lets try and live a decent life) usually through injecting it and cutting down their use so they don't go broke. It is without doubt (once you have a taste for it) the most addictive thing on the planet. You cannot un go there so to speak.

It is very sad. More needs to be done about trying to scare people off from even trying it. From what I understand, you're correct in saying it is the most addictive drug ever, which makes it hard for me to understand why people even give it a go. Surely there has to be more education into what this drug does to peoples lives and try to discourage people from trying it that first time. I guess of course you will always have the 'Oh, it won't happen to me, I have complete control' kinda people. Tough one. Very sad.
