placement. when you have no idea what s going to happen to you, you do start to go crazy. you had your chance, kevin. it s impossible to assess the kids who wind up in juvenile without taking a careful look at their everyday environments. that starts with family and home. i m from chicago, and it s a lot of gang bangers, shooting going on. and you see it up close and personal and stuff. so i had to grow up early and just experience a lot of stuff. so i know how it is. i got one more week. i m not doing nothing else. nothing. never coming back. i ve been doing so good. i used to be horrible. didn t care about nothing. but this time i ain t even do nothing. at the same time i m like oh, my god, i miss my baby. that s why i m so emotional.
she s always had issues. i ve always tried to address those issues. through doing and being the best mom i possibly could. unfortunately, for kymyada, she needs more attention than i can give her because me and my husband both work. to the point where we are now, it started with being disrespectful with me. after that we laid down the law. either you abide by our rules or you need to go somewhere else. she chose to go and be with her godmother. that s fine. i know where you re at. you re safe. we ll work this out. and you were okay with that. in fact, you presented her with that as an option. exactly. because i trusted that person and i knew she would be safe with that person. okay. so she didn t leave the house with your permission, did she? today the court is considering two difficult cases. there s kevin, a repeat offender who s been incarcerated for
the fosters have been taking care of their granddaughter while kymyada s been locked up. but attorney don ruck knows some tough decisions need to be made. there s two options really. at 4:00 today kymyada s going to go to a home where obviously there s a lot of structure like you were talking about. or she could go home and be released to you guys today with the list of interventions and services that the court has said. we re still at odds on that view. so. they re talking about it now. and i know deep inside with my dad s help that i ll be going home and be placed on house arrest. kim, as her mother what s best for her? yeah. as kymyada s parents struggle with their decision, jamie pays kevin a second visit since yesterday s incident. but this time she brings good news. kevin s going to placement finally after being with me for
if he can really search his heart and want to make the changes, i believe he can do so. but it s truly up to him. i hope he s successful. that s all i can say. while kevin is excited to go to placement, for kymyada being sent to a placement facility means separation from her daughter. but her story does not end here. that statement that you said hurt me really bad because
trouble. and that s just the pattern. that s been the pattern. so this is the beginning. this is a start. you have your clothes and everything? good to go. you need to just sign out. even though kevin will be away from home, this time he won t be away from family. after the court s lengthy search for a facility that can handle his needs, it turns out kevin is going to the same placement that his younger brother has been attending for the past six months. okay, kevin. take care. you too. best of luck to you. my little brother s been there since january. hopefully, my mom is there when i get out this time, she ll come visit me in placement and all that. all right, guys. take care. good luck to you, kevin. kevin definitely has potential.
