Every Day Abuse

Justin is terrorized by his meth abusing parents every day. Not only did his parents use meth but they made and dealt it. His job was to keep his little sisters safe and keep out of his parents way. Because he Had to get the food for his sisters he went shoplifting, but he got caught and it was a good thing in his life. The police came and took justin back to his house and while there the police found his parents activities of meth. The kids were taken away and their parents were arrested but because of the feeling of guilt Justin had he would punch walls, would be verbally abusive and ended up getting himself suspended from school. This is when the Kempe foundation stepped in. They gave him a mentor and had him attend skills groups to learn how to cope. He worked for nine months and finally was able to realize that it was not his fault. He now lives with an adoptive family with his sisters.
This would be very bad to have to stay away from your parents every day. To have to steal to get your food for the day. It reminds me of Aladdin.
