From Cherished Child to Grandparents' Nightmare: The Downward Spiral of Nygel Beerjeraz

From the beloved child of his family to a nightmare for his grandparents, Nygel Beerjeraz's life has dramatically spiraled downward due to drug addiction. Once a cherished miracle child, the now 21-year-old has become a tormentor for his grandparents, who have become victims of his substance abuse.

His 66-year-old grandmother reflects on the painful transformation, recalling how he was loved by everyone in the family. She mourns the loss of the sweet little boy who has turned into someone whose existence revolves solely around drug use and theft.

His grandfather explains that Nygel's troubles began with bad company. After being expelled from St. Andrew’s School and causing trouble at Sainte-Marie, Nygel moved in with his grandparents following his parents' divorce. Instead of enjoying a peaceful retirement, they now live in constant fear.

The 69-year-old grandfather recounts a traumatic experience during a holiday celebration when a stranger named Jonathan contacted them, claiming Nygel had sold him items that he wanted to return. While the couple was meeting Jonathan, Nygel suddenly stole his grandmother's bag and ran away, leaving them shocked and traumatized.

This act of violence is just one of many incidents where Nygel has robbed his grandparents to fund his drug habit, taking everything from decorative items to significant amounts of cash. The situation worsened when the grandfather bought a new Skoda car, which was stolen shortly after its delivery.

Despite promptly reporting the theft, Nygel was soon found driving recklessly and was arrested in a dramatic police chase. Videos of the arrest, showing police breaking the car windows to apprehend him, sparked outrage on social media, even from his grandparents, who condemned the police's violent approach.

Caught between their love for Nygel and their role as victims, they lament the transformation of their beloved grandchild into a lost soul consumed by addiction and crime. This family’s tragedy reveals the devastating impact of drug addiction and the chaos it brings into the lives of loved ones.
