Today was the spring picnic at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Apparently Kanga engaged in 'inappropriate boundaries with a male peer'. It appears just to be an inappropriate conversation but I'm not sure as the staff who called only took over when Kanga was taken from the picnic and turned over to this staff in the unit. (I'll get the full details on Monday.)
Kanga did what Kanga does, threw a fit, tried to run, got restrained, tried to hit/kick/bite staff; calmed down and played the I'm-so-sorry-its-not-my-fault-I-lost-control card. Major program infraction = 72 hours within arms-reach of staff. This Residential Treatment Center (RTC) doesn't use levels so there is no level-drop.
I cannot believe how calm I am. The fact that her goal is now independence makes all of this totally about her and not a fear for our safety.
As she continues to do this, I have little hope the child will stay out of jail as an adult.
