Joe spends his time unsupervised as his mum works odd jobs and can't look after him.
HE'S only 11. But Joe was caught by the police last Wednesday evening, allegedly for inhalant abuse.
It was not his first time.
His 13-year-old friend, Pete, was also caught.
Joe has three older brothers. One's 15 and already under supervision for inhalant abuse.
Another, 17, is in a Reformative Training Centre (RTC) for armed robbery.
The eldest brother, 19, lives with his father.
His parents are divorced.
A reader had alerted The New Paper to a family that had turned a HDB lift lobby into a makeshift home. The "family" was Joe, his mother and 15-year-old brother.
