It was only a year ago that the kid moved into Boyd's house. There were two families sharing the house, but it worked fairly well for the time being. Until the kid stole some money from Tina, the daughter of the other family. Then everything seemed different. Somehow everyone became guarded. The kid was watched from dawn till dusk and Boyd told me he couldn't sleep. Anytime the kid moved, someone wanted to know why.
More recently he was picked up stealing, but this time it was police and they warned him. Then he started to run away.
A diagnosis of ADD was confirmed by the psychiatrist and he was put on Ritalin which helps him concentrate at school.
