in some after-school programs.
around other kids his age,
'cause he's never had
anything like that.
I think he needs
to be out more,
but I want him out
with some structure.
I don't want to just--
I don't want him just
out on the streets.
because before I got help
and before
I got on medication,
I was like that.
I would just snap
and I'm sitting
in jail like...
"Wow. How did I get here?
How did this happen?
What exactly did happen?"
Everything Vontae...
is going through,
I've been through that,
and I'm still kind
you know, but I'm older now.
You know? I am--
I'm older now,
and he's still young,
and I'm like,
"If I had've got
the help at his age,
I think I'd be okay today."
I think I'd be okay today,
but I can't get...
to step it up
or get him
into some programs.
They not hearing me.
"My name is..."
Both:
"Ethan...""And I am a great kid."
"Sometimes Mom,
Dad or my teacher
"will tell me to clean up
or do my work.
Sometimes
they will tell me..."
Ethan:
"What to do."
"Sometimes I get mad."
Mmm.
Yeah.
Ethan:
I'm going home
in three months.
It's up to the staff...
so, I don't go home
for a while...
'cause you know,
until, you know,
I keep working
on my behavior.
But, you know,
Yeah.
I swiped my belt,
but then they took
my belt away.
At least they let
me keep my other belt,
but only if I'm safe.
Woman:
Why'd you swipe
your belt at the door?
'Cause I got
super angry and...
But that was
a long time ago, so...
Yeah.
What happens if you're good?
Can you go to heaven?
Even if you weren't,
can you go to heaven?
I mean, even if
you aren't good,
you still can go
to heaven?
Woman:
I don't know all the answers
to those questions.
Well, you could
go to hell...
when you don't behave.
I mean,
hell's underground.
Woman:
Is that something
you're worrying about?
Well, what do you mean?
I'm-I'm-- I'm not worried
about nothing.
Woman:
Okay.So...
(knocks on door)
Come in.
(door opens)
Woman:
Hi.
It's two o'clock.
Are you ready to move on
with your schedule?
Creigh:
Gus was probablythe most capable person
I've-- I ever knew.
He was-- he was
able to do anything
he wanted to do
and do it at a high--
at a very high level.
He made movies
with his friends,
and he-he-- he could
speak any language he put
his mind to learning.
He could play
any instrument
he wanted to learn.
He-- he was--
he was unbelievable.
You go through pictures,
you look at things,
lots of times with Gus,
he-he-- he contributed a lot,
and he-- he impacted
so many lives.
Nobody else in the family
really thought there
was a problem.
In October of 2013,
you know,
he was just, you know--
he was concerned about...
professors gang--
ganging up on him,
and I was, um,
I knew that wasn't Gus.
But he started
cutting his friends off...
and then he just started
behaving erratically.
The next thing I know,
he's decided to come home,
to leave school.
Maybe I didn't accept
how sick he was.
I mean, I-I--
I know that I didn't...
but I--
I didn't expect violence.
Hi. How are you?
Is Mommy home?
(child speaks softly)
Can I talk to Mommy?
Can you go get Mommy?
(child speaks softly)
Okay.
Do you want
to go get her?
(child speaks softly)
Maria:
Thank you.I'll wait. Go ahead,
go get Mommy.
(child speaks softly)
I think Cesar
spoke to you.
He went to the school
on the 28th of October,
and Ivanka
was still here.
Mm-hmm.
So what happened?
I know that
you were struggling
with him, right?
Yeah, that's it.
I just came downstairs
from with the manager,
because, you know,
since she found out who's
been lighting the fires...
Mmm. Uh-huh.
...now I gotta pay for all
the carpet that's been burned.
And when I talked
in the building...
Mm-hmm.
...he did admit that
Vontae was setting fires.
Wow.
So I'm like, "He can't
come back here.
We'll get evicted."
She already got a report
that's to the owner,
so I don't know what
they're gonna do with us.
We're gonna have
to pay for the damages,
which I don't have money
to pay for the damages.
What happened
with the therapist?
Was that even helpful?
Was she still
coming here? Uh-huh?
You know what they tell me?
They tell me 'cause
I been getting on they case,
I'm like, "You guys--"
'cause he started
spiraling down.
I'm like, "You guys gonna
have to do something."
I was like-- I been
really emphasizing
to get him in some
after-school programs.
I was like, "He needs to be
in an after-school program..."
Right.
"...and he needs to be
in something to keep him
busy on the weekends."
I've been saying it,
saying it, saying it.
Nobody's doing anything.
Mm-hmm.
So when they come over,
they was like, "Well, we don't
know what to do with him,
'cause he won't open up to us,"
and you know, I'm like,
"Well, if you can't do it,
find somebody that can do it."
Mm-hmm.
You know, if you saying
you can't reach him,
he's not opening up,
then refer him somewhere else.
He has not seen
a psychiatrist.
Obviously,
he's crying out for help.
I'm not a professional,
so I can't give-- all I can do
is be a mother.
Right.
You know,
that's all I can be,
but he needs
more than a mother.
He needs some
serious professional help.
(sighs) You know,
that, um, there was
a conference call
with the therapist,
and one of the recommendations
was to increase
and also a referral
to a psychiatrist,
and it doesn't seem
like it happened,
and so I'm gonna call
right now and find out
what happened with that.
Yeah. I'm calling
in regards to a minor
who I've been working with--
him and his mother.
It-- its been a while.
Probably about maybe
two months ago,
there was a--
a teleconference with one
of our supervisors
and Cesar in regards
to making a referral
to a psychiatrist.
So what happened
with that referral?
And see, if we would've
had that information,
it would've been very helpful,
because if we had to take Mom
to get the physical exam
that Vontae needed,
we would've done that.
If in the future,
you get a case
and you have
a problem with that,
please let us know,
and we'll do that,
because... it's been a year
and he hasn't been seen
by a psychiatrist.
That's pretty-- Yeah.
(phone clatters)
(sighs)
So it was all based
on the paperwork,
on a-- on a-- on a...
physical exam that was
never taken place.
Woman:
What do you mean,
"It was all"--
Well, I mean--
I mean that him being seen
by a psychiatrist,
it was--
they were just waiting
for a physical exam,
like the results
of a physical exam.
