The cage cost her more than $3000. But she took this harsh decision with the hope to protect her ice-addicted son from methamphetamines and harming himself or others.

Series of family tragedies made the teenager drink alcohol first, then smoke cannabis and finally turning to methamphetamines.

‘I'd rather look at my mum as a jailer than be in a real jail,' the 17-year-old old Wiley told A Current Affair.

It was a hard decision for her as several times her son made suicide attempts.

'You know your son is going to end up dead, or severely hurting himself or someone else. I am just one person begging for help and there is no one to help us,' she said.

‘He said: "Mum, you have to lock the cage. You have to lock the doors because I can't be trusted",' the mother repeated what she heard from her son. We hope his mother's efforts give Wiley a second life.
