Blondie

I'm going to tell a story about a child we'll call "Blondie". Blondie was removed from his parents about a year ago. Blondie is in Special Education and has Bi-Polar Disorder as well as other behavior problems. When Blondie was taken, he used every curse word on a daily basis, hated anyone who wasn't white, couldn't be in crowds, and kicked and screamed. He's 8 now and had spent a lot of time in a mental institution when was 5-6.

Fast forward to now, Blondie is doing well in school and has been mainstreamed into 2 classes (art and gym). He follows the rules and has a list of "good words" to use when he gets angry. He no longer has outbursts at school and has been given certificates for good behavior. He's now back with his mom and I couldn't ask for anything better for him. Merry Christmas to all the Blondies out there.
