it's 1 pm ... do you know where your abused child is?

yes, it is 1 pm and i am leaving for lunch. where is your special needs child who suffers from hearing loss, has a serious speech impediment and cannot communicate in or comprehend any spoken language, and who mysteriously has a black eye? where is he? he's hanging out at the laundromat waiting for it to be "time" to be allowed into the library. you see, it's actually illegal for us to allow unaccompanied children in here until 2:30. because children are supposed to be at school. so he's hanging around outside of the laudromat with the drug dealers. nice.
