Title: Hawaii boy runs away on visit home from Utah facility
Post by: The Liger on February 07, 2006, 09:30:00 PM
This is my mom's friend's kid.  He was sent away over a year ago.  I'm really curious as to what Utah facility he was in.  I also wonder whether they can force him onto an airplane.

Wow, so did his mom send him back?  Oahu seems really small (was the boy in Kailua?), he probably should have left the island...

I don't know.  I think he's in jail.  He was on probation.  

My mom's attidue about the whole thing brings it all back:  "This kid has everything going for him."  (Because he has rich parents.)  She talks about how he got kicked out of two schools.  I asked her what for, and she said for bad grades.  The kid has learning disabilities.  And he's adopted.  And he has ADD.  So I guess that makes the kid such a pain in the ass that his rich parents can send him to Utah 'til he's 18.

Why did I spell attitude "attidue"?  That doesn't even make sense as a typo.

I'm adopted, too.

He's better off in juvie jail.  At least there, he will retain his ability to think independently, speak freely, and mature naturally (well, compared to what would happen in Utah).

I'm also adopted.  I know what you mean.  I'm pissed because this boy is experiencing a lot of what I went through over a decade ago.  I feel like I know exactly what his parents are thinking and exactly what he must be feeling.

Yeah, I feel the same way.

I wish my mom could talk to his mom, because she could warn her of the long-term results of her sending this kid to Utah.
