call 911........call 911
Hi family,
Last night I got a very nice, civil, non-demanding, phone call from my son. He calls about once a week just to say hey so I won't worry. (this is a nice change)
And he was telling me about some down the road drama unfolding with a dog that a neighbor was going to put out in the snow because he was evicted from his home. My son saw the sheriff there and went up with a leash and said "Good thing you got here late officer - I came to get my dog." and instead of being nice - the cop made some snide remark about the dog needed to be put down with people like this. (meaning the kid that was being evicted) not bad enough he was being evicted, now the cop is demeaning him in front of neighbors - the kid was mostly packed and the cop asked my son where he lived.
He told him and then said that he had 2 days to find the dog a home, and difficult child had called me and Df about coming to get him as a foster/rescue, but I worked. I called some local animal shelters in the area but they never called back or emailed. (Glad they are there) sheez. And while Dude is on the phone with me - I hear the most foul language and threats to kill the dog, beat the dog, cut him, let him go - hurt him, kick him from other kids in the background - and what's worse is that the house mgr. was THERE and just ignored it all. It's very upsetting and I know not all kids are good with animals or care - because they too are wounded - but for the house mgr. to not intervene - and it got Dude in a tizzy - and he was ready to hit someone (I told him that showed lack of control) but I could hear even the house mgr. egging this on. UNREAL. So I told Dude to leave. I told him to tell the man there - he needed to leave, go for a long walk and cool down.
HE TOOK MY ADVICE AND LEFT. He walked 8 miles to a kid's house and had called him about keeping that dog - the kid said for a while - not forever. And Dude and the dog left. Dude EVEN made it back for curfew.
So today he called and said that the group home is NOT working for him and he said he hasn't been to school in weeks? (No gas) He hasn't gotten credit for his community service hours ( I smell a set up with a friend who needed free labor), His clothes have all been stolen, shoes stolen and he said the people up there are just not his class of people, (not to be ugly) but he said the whole place is a scam. THIS I believe. We let him have a computer there - the house mgr. put it in his room - and it got destroyed - and he refuses to pay for it.
Well while I'm on the phone calling the caseworker to have Dude moved - which is what he's supposed to have been doing for 4 weeks now (ARGH) I hear a voice in the background - yelling and ordering Dude to clean up the mess in the kitchen. Dude didn't eat breakfast - he's not on KP duty - and this man is ordering him around and barking at him like he's a dog and screaming DO YOU HEAR ME BOY? And Dude is ignoring him - then said "I didn't make the mess and if you are going to talk to me like that I ain't cleaning it up." and then the man went off on him and I could hear him saying junk in the background. So I told Dude to hold the phone out and say "MY MOTHER WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU NOW!!!!" so he did. And the man IMMEDIATELY SHUT UP. And then I hear "You talkin to yoz MOms?" and Dude said "YUP - and she is NOT happy with..." and then says "What did you say you were not happy with MOTHER? HIS PERFORMANCE AS A LEADER?" and the man said NOTHING.
I told Dude to wash up what he did have in clothes and shoes and get his stuff packed up, I would be calling his caseworker TODAY and he will be out of there ASAP - and then I will be calling DHEC and the Governor, and the congressmen Jim DeMint and letting them know EVERYTHING that has gone on from asking for gas money now to get them to school - to not taking them to job interviews, mental health appointments and whatever else Dude wants to tell me about that Good Ole Boy system. I am outraged.
I have had my suspicions about the validity of what Dude is saying - but now? I believe it. These kids lie so much it's hard to know when they are telling you the truth and when they are embellishing it for their own personal gain - but after the 2 phone calls, threats and language, and NAME calling from an adult - THIS is it.
First get Dude somewhere safe - and make sure he's not wasting his life NOT going to school, NOT going to counseling, NOT getting a job and NOT being compliant with his PO and THEN - WARRIOR MOM...
Gotta love Dude holding the phone out and saying what he did - until that point the man had no clue he was talking on the phone.
WELL tomorrow is another day.....isnt it? lol
