Wanderer

Jenna was walking around a hotel parking lot at the age of four. She could barely speak, and couldn't sit long enough to color a picture, and to top it off she did not know her last name and refused to sleep in her bed along with overeating and hiding of her food.
She was diagnosed with PTSD (Post-Tramautic Stress Disorder) and accepted into the Kempe Therapuetic Preschool and received state of the art care. She now can sit and color a picture, listen to stories, she can eat meals slower, and she can sleep on her bedroom floor (still doesn't like her bed, and realizes that she has her foster parents for comfort.

To be four years old and out on your own. It must have given her the habits of hiding food, in the streets you always save some for later. I feel really bad for what she had to go through.
