Today I got a glimpse of the families in which some of the kids live.
There was a huge fight today. One older guys was fighting with three of the younger kids who were ganging up on him. I had to restrain the older one physically from beating the younger kids.
Since it was a fight we had to suspend the kids.
We took one of the kids home and explained what happened to his grandmother.
Of course the kid lied about what actually happened so the supervisor had to tell the truth. The grandmother didn't believe us though she yelled at the supervisor for 20 minutes about how her kid shouldn't be suspended because he didn't do anything wrong. She justified the kids point of view.
After camp we met one of the dads. He basically told us that revenge was the right thing to do. If someone wrongs you its ok to kill them.... He told us that he would BEAT his kids FOR us. HE seemed like a 14 year old in a grown man's body
...and THIS is the father of a 4 year old kid?
today was a hard day.
Where do we even begin?
