Were it not for Orlando McIntosh’s grandmother being proactive in seeking help for him through the Child Protection and Family Services Agency (CPFSA), he might not have been able to turn his life around from that of a troubled teen to become a respected high-school teacher.
Growing up in St. Catherine, Orlando was unruly, often getting into fights and skipping school.
His disruptive behaviour was too much for his grandmother to handle, who was also responsible for raising his siblings, and she sought the intervention of the CPFSA (then the Child Development Agency
).
This led to Orlando becoming a ward of the State, while be continued to reside with his grandmother.
