All I can say is what a shit of a day....
It started off your normal quiet non event happening kinda day but then
POW!!!!!
I got a phone call from Krystal this afternoon and Joshua had been punched in the face by an older kid who is nothing but trouble...
Found out that this kid`s father is the one that threatened Daniel that time when Daniel flipped the bird at him....
So I quickly raced down to get the kids and his face was all swollen but his nose thankfully had stopped bleeding and wasn`t broken...
I was wild...So much so that I took All the kids down to the local police station and reported it...
Then I find out from this really nice officer that this kid has a record a mile long....
He actually said to me this kid has had more charges against him than I have had hot dinners....
He said to me really to take the matter further would just create more problems for me and the family....
So it`s on record for now and if anything else happens then we can have the first report brought back out and take action....
Then you wouldn`t believe it while we were in there making out the report who did they drag in handcuffed but this kid.....
Apparently they have been looking for him for quite some time now and he did something really bad after the attack on Joshua....
But what shit`s me the most is he will get a slap on the wrist because he is only 17....Then it`s back out into the streets to cause more havoc and mayhem for innocent bystanders...
After that I finally arrived home at 7pm and Matt had a call from his doctors about the results to do with his liver...
Not good news i`m afraid...
Seems the liver is severely damaged and the pancrea`s
(think that`s how you spell it)
Neither is functioning properly....
So now the doctor is weighing up what can be done but by the sounds of things it isn`t positive news...
So nice way to start the weekend...lol
If you don`t laugh you`ld cry....
Just have to see what`s around the corner now...
Have a great weekend everyone...
It`s going to be a hot one here....
Hello Mandy,
ReplyDeleteThe law for minors it's unreal really and they know it, they get away with so much and always have unfortunately.
I hope your Joshua is alright, it's sad to hear what happened to him.
Your Matt, dear oh dear, so sorry to hear of the news about him. I hope something can be done. Certainly a worry for everyone.
Take care,
Margaret
Hi Mandy, first thing that came to mind was 'what is bugging that kid', I have learnt, especially living in Lismore Caravan Park, where I met many 'bad' people and got to know their beginnings. (I thought I had a horror life) Abandonment and abuse, mostly orphages and extreme sexual interference was a common denominator. It's a wonder the police haven't visited this boy's home.
ReplyDeleteThe little girl that just died seems a perfect example of abused persons raising abused kids.
DOCS will really clamp down now. Usually though on the wrong people. After Bri's accident and Dylan's fiasco and relapse, DOCS visited Niki's home on two occasions and they were real mean to her. They must leave the 'real' cases alone?!?
When Craig used to bully me the police in the small town talked me out of pressing charges, as he was 'just drunk'. When his bullying continued they then bullied me TO charge him OR stop complaining??? Ever try to charge a violent person with abuse, what a horrendous trial that is. Police used to cart him away from the house and he'd return more violent than ever........Fed has put a stop to all this as he is highly respected in town.
Couldn't sleep, read your post on BB, then to Terry's then here, so you have copped my morning chatter. love
PS One such boy in Niki's town was doing similar things to the boys, I suggested Niki invite him to dinner and approach him from a different angle.
Sorry, I'm not taking sides but, I can empathize with the underdog, they seem to attack other children whose self-esteem is low (from dysfunctional homes) as they get kicked around, they in turn take it out on someone and so on. They have brought in meditation to the violent schools in American with good results.
Hi, Hope you are all ok, poor Matt and Josh.... I have no idea what to say as nothing is going to make it better, Love you all and I'm thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteI hope Matt's pancreas doesn't get much worse, I don't know much about it but I do know it isn't good to have problems with it.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't life suck some weeks...
I am all better now think I just had a bug that was going around...
