“Some independent living you have
to be attending, I think, 30 hours
of school a week, or 40 hours of
work. Which, being 16 and often
a victim of trauma, or any type of
abuse, or anything along those
lines, can be a little bit difficult
to meet that quota. And a lot of
times that’s a failed or repeated
kind of a repeated cycle – they
keep the gunpowder dry until the
last minute – then it just gestates
and congeals itself until the youth
doesn’t know what they’re doing.”
