Until January, MacAllister was learning remotely, like every other SFUSD student. "There wasn't a lot of communication about when schools would open back up," explained MacAllister. "Barely any time I was happy in that time" Kate Larsen: "Did you ever feel like you thought about hurting yourself?" MacAllister: "To be honest, sometimes, yeah. But I would never do it." "He was deteriorating emotionally and socially and the isolation was contributing to that," said MacAllister's mom, Renee Gonsalves. "He used to be a happy child, he used to smile at people. There was no smile left, no laughter in the house."
