He has never met his father and he and his mother have lived with his grandmother and his mother’s younger sister, Sorita (who is 15) all of his life. His mother Malita has recently graduated from a community college and is in training to become a registered nurse. His grandmother has cared for him with his aunt, while his mother has worked and attended college since his birth.

Jared’s mother is working and attending school and reports that she feels terrible about not spending enough time with Jared. Jared spends a lot of time with Sorita, who is an, highly motivated student, like her older sister Sorita enjoys her time caring for Jared although she wishes she had more time to go out and see her friends. Jared’s grandmother reports that she regrets her daughters did not have relationships with their fathers, and she thinks that this is the root of Jared’s problems. She Grandmother has sought some help from their church minister, who has suggested that he spend time with a male mentor from their congregation. The grandmother is experiencing some chronic physical problems that sap her energy.

Grandmother also reports that men have not been present in the family going back as far as she can recall. She feels both angry and helpless about this history. She herself reports that her own mother was an alcoholic and that in spite of this history, She has improved her life from that of her siblings (three brothers and two sisters), whom she has little or no contact. Two of her brothers have been imprisoned, and the third died in gang violence as a teenager.

Mother, Auntie, Grandmother

UPDATE:
Jared is now seven years old and has been doing pretty well in second grade. He continues to live with his grandmother, mother, aunt, and now an uncle who was released from prison about four months ago. His mother is working as a nurse locally and his aunt is now attending a community college and is less able to care for him. His uncle has been taking over and helping as he can. The grandmother’s health is beginning to decline and she also finds caring for Jared difficult. Through the school, Jared was diagnosed with learning disabilities. He is doing better now that he is getting special help, though he remains in a regular classroom. About two months ago, a friend of the uncle was staying with the family and Jared’s behavior changed very quickly. He tried to drown a neighbor’s cat, started a fire in the yard, and approached a toddler boy, the child of a neighbor, sexually. His aunt insisted that they take him to the advocacy center where it was determined that he was sexually abused (fondled) by the friend of the uncle. This man quickly left the home and state. Jared has now been brought in for treatment.
