## Resource

Tulsi Gabbard’s older brother, Batarti Gabbard, is facing serious charges after allegedly approaching kids at a Waikīkī hotel pool, offering them gum and money to go to his room — a crime now labeled second-degree custodial interference. He’s also been arrested separately for theft, though he’s not guilty and released pending trial. His family, including Hawaii Senator Mike Gabbard, says he’s receiving psychiatric treatment and is loved and prayed for — asking others to join in prayer for his recovery. Police say the kids refused his advances and walked away before a woman reported the incident. Batarti is no longer in custody as the family focuses on his healing.
