Police report submitted. I received a "notice to the victim" and she said that somebody will call me within 48 hours and I should avoid contaminating the area in case crime scene services decide to attend. Spooky. I'm going to see if I can convince my org to submit a property damage report for the broken walls, doors, and locks, but I doubt they will (they don't like pressing charges as a general rule of thumb, I've seen kids damage 3x3m sections of wall, kick doors in, and try to torch houses and they still don't call police.
I'm impressed with the police assistance line, the people I spoke to were very nice and understanding. I don't have a very high impression of police, generally (although I don't hate them). But every time I've called the PAL they've always been respectful and polite. Such a good service.
It was four months ago I wished you a happy birthday. Quick maths tells me you'll age out of the system in another eight months. I hope you're able to find your own place with some stability and safety to it.
Good memory! Though unfortunately because I don't have anywhere to go yet, I won't be leaving right when I turn 18. I can stay here until I'm 19, so I'll leave sometime before then
Christ, so you're only 17 and dealing with this stuff? Wow. You're mature as heck dude. I'm sorry this is all happening to you.
