----------------------------------------------------

Carlo was a child actor, whose parents pleaded in his criminal case (he was convicted of robbing multiple pharmacies for oxycodone) for drug treatment, not prison...here's his facebook, with a photo of him as a kid. Our condolences to his family. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any support to you through this difficult time. Many survivors of prison violence (suicide, homicide, and abuse/neglect) have begun organizing to support eachother and change things. Carlo's family is more than welcome, whatever the circumstances of his death.

Take care,
