recommended adequate psychological treatment so he can decide on school and activities he wishes participate in.44 52. In the follow-up medical reports, after the patient was released, the petitioner informed the treating doctor that “after three months of being confined in the hospital, (Sebastian) is very fearful, at times he trembles, he is very scared and has nightmares; the confinement has made him regress from the progress that he had achieved before.”45 On October 4, 1994, the petitioner appeared before the court and stated that Sebastian “is totally recovered at this time, is attended every two weeks at the C.I.F. (Centro de Integración Familiar) [Family Integration Center], where he receives adequate treatment.”46 53. On November 17, 1994, the forensic doctor reported to the court that Sebastian attended the full school year, studying industrial studies (third year) (performing poorly) and that he obtained his driver’s permit and that he had not had any accidents; concluding that “even though he still has the psycho-organic basis of his illness, the lack of sensorial perception has disappeared”, and therefore he may continue to receive outpatient treatment and periodical monitoring.47 On December 22, 1994, the court decided to lift the security measures on Sebastian regarding treatment at the C.I.F [Family Integration Center].48 54. Sebastian studied his first year, second division at Technical Education School No. 4 in 1988 and then his second year, first division in 1990, through early May. The attorney for the plaintiff requested this school to report on his status of integration and academic performance before and after the accident of December of 1988, as evidence in the domestic suit for damages. The information provided by Technical Education School No. 4 in the context of the case confirms that Sebastian’s behavior changed in a way that adversely affected his school performance. In response to the official letter of request, the school principal informed the judge the following: “severe changes in his speech, motor skills and profound changes in his conduct were observed, which was disconcerting to the school staff and hampered the normal course of learning for this student and the others.”49 55. The expert medical examination conducted in the context of the civil proceedings, the report of which was presented to the court on November 15, 1999, yielded the following conclusions as to how Sebastian was affected and the necessary medical care to treat him: In response to the points of the expert examination, it could be said that: 44 Case No. 27.438/3861 against Sebastian Furlan for serious bodily harm, Court for Criminal and Correctional Matters No. 5 (1994), page 66.
