Spoke with his mom (my cousin M) last night - feeling quite disturbed about what she had to say. He was more down yesterday. She doesn't know if she's coming back here to see him this week or not - thinks this is all an act he's putting on - but I think my god, he's only 11. I know what some children are capable of - but if they are, it's b/c they have problems. She doesn't see that - thinks he's a bad kid and she's not remotely responsible.
I need to talk to the social worker. If I can possibly do anything, I would prefer he didn't go back to his mom when he leaves the hospital. I even recommended to her last night perhaps sending him to a therapeutic group home or residential facility. There's a good one where I used to live - I volunteered there. I just hate to see him go through this...
