"Kandice at 12"
Kandice's mother says that she has
always been different from the rest of her seven children. Kandice has a
different father than her brothers and sisters and recently after an
arguement with her brother, Kandice called her father and Kandice's mother
wound up being investigated for neglect as the argument occurred while
Kandice's mother was at work and the children were under the supervision of a
baby sitter. Kandice's mother had to take a temporary leave of absence from
her job at the Marriot to comply with the rigorous court schedule. After ten
months, the end result was the court's finding the Kandice's mother was not
guilty of neglect. Kandice's brother, however had to be sent to a boy's home
until the court completed it's investigation. The boy, already diagnosed with
ADD, experienced severe emotional trauma and in the end the upheaval was in
vain.
