Well

Ismael is in the hospital. And fingers crossed, they admit him. He was brought to school today by his mother. She tried to take him to the hospital yesterday, but he ran away. And she actually didn't bring him to school, she tricked him into going in despite the fact that she was coming as well. She told him she was buying candy apples for our Affy Tapple sale. Anyway, when Ismael got to school, he and his mother went to the social worker's office. The school police were called in case he tried to run away from mom again. (This was all planned yesterday afternoon between the case manager, mom and the Chicago Police Department.) When Ismael was told he was going to the hospital, he became belligerent. The police walked in to help. He became belligerent to the police and started cussing him out. He was handcuffed. He broke down in tears. And they took him to the hospital. He breaks my heart. He really breaks my heart.
