won t be away from family. after the court s lengthy search for a facility that can handle his needs, it turns out kevin is going to the same placement that his younger brother has been attending for the past six months. kevin, take care. best of luck to you. my little brother has been there since january. hopefully my mom is there for me when i get out this time and she ll come visit me in placement and all that. all right. take care. good luck to you, kevin. kevin definitely has potential if he can really search his heart and want to make the changes, i believe he can do so. but it s truly up to him. i hope he s successful. that s all i can say. while kevin is excited to go to placement, for kymyada being sent to a placement facility means separation from her daughter.
hearing in front of the judge, they are placed in the holding cell area where they prepare for their time in court. the juvenile detention center is just that. it s a place where we hold kids until we essentially figure out what we want to do with them next. what kind of services would be in the best interest of that kid in the community? kevin elkins has been ricky s probation officer for years. has kevin spoke with you recently? yeah. he spoke to me. did he have any idea of what might occur? he said maybe 30-day commitment, 60-day commitment. i was like, i don t want either. i want out. i ve talked to him since he s been out here. still has his mindset on wanting to get his ged. going to welding. that was his vocation at the placement facility. he still has a chance to turn his life around, you know, before he gets too deep into the adult system. i have things to do. this is putting a pause on it.
take advantage of the welding trade he learned while at his last placement facility. if he can come out of placement and he has a trade, if any of the kids have a trade, then it makes them marketable, it means they can survive and support themselves without having to turn to a life of crime to do that. i can t believe how tall you ve got to be considering how short you were. you know, i really do believe there s a big part of rick that would like to turn the tide. would like to continue on with the welding, would like to minimally get his ged if not his actual high school diploma. would like to live on the right side of the law. but the flip side of that is that s a lot of work. you think anybody s going to be here for you? i don t know. i really don t know. i don t think so. so, you know, it s a lot easier to go out and sell a few drugs if you don t get caught, make big money, as opposed to go welding, put on all that hot
help her get through that. today what the court will do is graptd your request and order she be released and turned to your custody. i will order she have individual and family counseling to resolve the issues that are obvious from the last hearing so we don t find ourselves back here again. all right. i order that you will be released to your mother. this hearing is adjourned. good luck. you are going home. oh, man, super, seumer, super happy. too happy, yeah. just plan to get home to my baby. that s on my mind. the focus on my life. i think that the two weeks away if a placement facility gave her additional time to think about it. two squeeks a long time to be away from your baby. so i think there has been some life changes going on and the mother went to the lengths of changing their work schedules, which is commendable. i think they re a decent family
kevin definitely has potential. if he can really search his heart and want to make the changes, i believe he can do so. but it s truly up to him. i hope he s successful. that s all i can say. while xemp is excited to go to placement, for kymyada, being sent to a placement facility means separation from her daughter. but her story does not end here. that statement that you said hurt me really bad because all we do is go out to dinner.
