A Simple Beginning

Blending In

Anastasia
I discovered how to blend in with the homeless people and I also found a way to report mrs Elena Lincoln caseworker. I found out that she has been a caseworker for twenty some years. I decided to learn hacking andI got good at it, just enough to expose her and having them digging into how she had so many runaways and so many accounts with millions of dollars. She hasn't made the news yet. I have discovered how resourceful homeless people can be. I found broken laptops and tinkered with them and got them working by cannibalizing them for parts. I found screwdrivers and tweezers at the dollar tree and they are tiny so I can take them anywhere. The magnifier was a different matter. A nice jewelry maker gave me an old one to use. He gave me an apple and a sandwich as well. I have been working hard and found a way to make money from various jobs that I have done for people on line. I opened up an account and I can withdraw money if I need to. I try not to. I found a way to rent an efficiency apartment, I have a friend that is very trustworthy sign the lease and show up when an adult is needed. He is the jeweler and he knows about the caseworker and my parent's deaths and my side of the story.

I am just walking in when the boys are teasing Mia about a boy she likes. I tell them to get their homework done and leave Mia alone about her crush or I will give her the names of their crushes. I finally hear footsteps on the stairs as the boys go do their homework. Mia has already done hers and started on her next week's assignments. She has to be on top of things after how badly she did in her early school courses. We found out she had dyslexia and we got her a tutor right away. So now she wants to do better in her courses. Today was a bad day at the hospital a caseworker I have never met before tried to take a 12 year old girl out of the hospital without any documentation to do so. She left without a battle with me and I didn't get her name. The girl was put in isolation due to trauma. I tried the other caseworkers but they had no idea what or who I was talking about. They also told me that they didn't even know the child's name. I decided to have hospital security watch over the girl.

Grace is in deep thought about a 12 year old girl who was brought in by an older man and he refused to give him name or hers because someone is after her and he doesn't want them to find him and in turn find her. She said the caseworker came in too quickly and tried to take her with her without any documentation and any reporting doctor. None of the doctors reported the child because an adult brought her in and paid for her treatment in cash. I look at her and ask who was the caseworker? She has no idea because everything went so quickly and she left. She said the girl was frightened out of her wits when she saw the woman. She thinks they should move her to another hospital.

Elliott
The parents are in a sombre mood at dinner tonight and nothing anyone says seems to change that. Something tells me it is not anything they can talk about. It must have to do with their work. Suddenly mom tells us to beware of strangers at all times and especially when it comes to Mia. All of look and we know something must have happened at her work and she was involved in the case. So we assure mom that we will always look after Mia and we will stay away from strangers. She tells us to get a good look at their badges or work ids as well.

Mom is really stressed over something at work and she warns us about getting a good look at badges, work IDs and confirm by phone if need be. We are not to go anywhere with anyone we don't know. Call them before we go near to a car. Run if we have to as long as they don't have a gun on you. Wow she must have had a very bad case today.

Mia
Mom and dad both are lecturing me about strangers and staying away from them and try to have people around me as much as possible. Mom tells me that I need to go to the self defense classes with the boys. I am given no choice at this point and dad is firm about it if I want the new dresses I asked for I have to go to one course for each dress and each pair of shoes and purses. I am very angered by 5his because I am not the physical kind of girl.

Carrick
Well in this day you had better get in good physical shape because if you find yourself where you are overpowered someone can do anything to you that they wish. I try and impress this fact and suddenly Elliott tells us about a friend's sister is now taking the classes but it was too late. She ended up being taken and held for weeks and no one knows what all they did to her but they are all behind bars for ten to 15 years and she is not the same person she was before it happened. I was glad he told that story leaving out the whole story because it might traumatize Mia. We kept that story out of the house and we wouldn't allow Mia to read any of it. I know she will learn how harsh and cruel the world is eventually but she is only 12 years old and I want her to stay my princess until she is married.
