We have had a phone call from the RTC where John is residing. He is not doing well. He is under the assumption, we believe, that if he is bad enough he can get kicked out. Since this worked for him at a shelter care facility in October of 2004, and a foster home in November of 2004, and in shelter care again in March of 2005, the psych hospital in May of 2005 and even a detention facility that same month, he has learned behavior. Except that this time it is costing him his right to play football at the new facility/school and is simply extending his stay. They say they aren’t going to kick him out, no matter how many chairs he throws at them or how many times he cusses them out or how many times they have to restrain him (apparently, they have to notify us when he is restrained, so we’re getting some phone calls.
We also have had a couple conversations with Mike. Apparently he is going to be completing his program in his detention center on September 15th. There is a staffing tomorrow, which we were not asked to attend, to discuss his future. It will be interesting to see what they recommend. Mike thinks he wants to come home, but we just aren’t sure we’re open for another ride around the same downhill spiral again. Time will tell.
