So it sounds like Kanga attempted to get alone with one of the girls on her unit (for sex). She had her roommate and another girl lined up to create a distraction on their next off-campus outing. The girl told on her and it didn't happen. But I'm so aggravated.
1. I only found out about this because I called unit staff to check on her on Friday (it happened either Tuesday or Wednesday).
2. Why the heck is the child not restricted to campus???
3. Her goal is technically 'return home' although we all know it is really independent living. If it really was return home, the lack of consequences from staff would really set her up for failure here.
4. I knew she was turning down multiple off-campus outings. She told me it was because she had spent all her money and didn't want to just watch the other girls shop. Nope, she liked being able to hang out near the boys as the only girl (even if staff made her sit on the balcony (30-40 ft away from the bball court), she still got to see and be seen.
I am so grateful that she is there and not here. I cannot imagine the hell our lives would be in our ultra-conservative small town (well, technically not small anymore but the attitudes remain).
