We want to confirm that Perez remains hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act. His communication has been extremely limited and confined to immediate family, medical providers, and others directly involved in his care. As our family remains focused on Perez’s treatment and recovery, we also need the space and privacy to care for everyone affected by this situation. We again respectfully ask members of the media to leave the home and surrounding area, stop following family members, and cease photographing Perez’s children. Please allow them and the rest of the family the peace and privacy they desperately need during this incredibly difficult time.
