The police officer called tonight. Had Mike in custody. He's got no permanent address. They need to send court paperwork somewhere or else he has to hold him.
I wasn't sure what to do. Was letting him use our address enabling his lifestyle? Was not letting him use it cruel and unusual punishment.
I let them use it. He'll have to call here to see what it says.
Those calls are always such fun ones to try to make when you have a house full of people, including guests, and you're 11 year old is chanting in the background, "We are siamese if you please . . . we are siamese if you don't please."
I told him, "Could you please not sing that song when the police call. They were asking how we were able to find a talking siamese cat."
He replied, "Really???"

I think you did the right thing.
Giving a permanent address isn't enabling; it's allowing him a shot at a normal life. Like many young people with FASD though, the questionn is "What now?"
