a day of frustrations. started at 4am

we have been really struggling  today.  David stole two cell phones, two keys and a DSI from his family last night.  Between the hours of 3 am and 4am.  How do I know?  Because that is when I was asleep.  the keys are for locks in the house that we use to keep him out of things.  One key we got back already. We also got back the phones and the DSI.  Still constant behaviors.

On August 7th, we are meeting with our mediator and the school.  There will be over 10 people at this meeting for our son. Things are escalating at home, and we aren’t entirely positive that he doesn’t need to live in a facility for care.  He needs more

Mr Fingers

We purchased new phones this last weekend. Mr Fingers has managed to take cell phones from two members of the family. We try to ensure that the owner of the phone knows that it isn’t their fault that David (Mr Fingers) took their phone. It happens, nothing we have tried will prevent it. Tweet #fighting4answrs
