I am, so so sorry, but I sense that I am also being wrongfully accused.
The specific and stated reason for my son to be at AFA was that I was too ill to take care of him properly.
For one thing, I was smoking four packs a day and sleeping erratically, 2 hours on and 2 hours off throughout the day and night. Missing about 1 out of 2 appointments for hair cuts, dental work, and pscyhology. It was a SALVATION for our family for Ian to be accepted and to be able to beat the rap and stay there as long as he did, which was about 5 years. Yes, I had a Kent School education and that was a help. I knew my way around an American boarding school education and I was there in the background able to help things along. But Alex’s father and uncle were decorated Canadian WWII military heroes. Obviously, on that ground Ian was a shoo-in. And Alex handled the majority of the interfacing with the school.
I was about as ill as I had ever been. There was no hope.
So, Ian went back to school after the weekend with clothing stinking of cigarette smoke, et cetera. And suddenly was called out as exceptionally bright in science.
Then, the eye injury; and we had to take him out of there because of the rough and tumble nature of the place; we relocated him to a private Catholic School.
Which lasted for as long as he needed it to, then, the tasering (of me, for saying something I oughtn’t to in front of the police). And, that is the line we’ve all been navigating ever since. Why that had to happen I don’t know. My neck hangs. Painfully.
So, the Lord says, “Make a case for your innocence.” And what I have said is about all I can say. Except that it is only a tenth of it. I don’t want to say any more because I don’t want to make anybody feel bad. Obviously it is for the child and I wish I could remember his name.
My son is telling me that this happened years ago and that people are saying why are you bringing this up now?
It is because I never heard. With all this stuff I have been saying about the plastic surgery and how it is changing me and the Hopkins lawsuit people are considering things of old and that the parents are looking at it differently. And I need to be wary of this and similar issues.
Most of the time I have a light on in my mind day and night going over all the bugaboos of harming people and myself all my life that are comparatively silly but this one isn’t. I would ask the parents, whom I have never met, to apply to us for an award from the Hopkins lawsuit which has been launched. It had not yet been launched but now it has and with this, I am now ANGRY.
