Adonis

Adonis came here to live in April.  He is eight years old.  A little boy.

Before he came here, he had not been disciplined a day in his life.  He did what he wanted, when he wanted.  The mother admitted he was completely out of control.  Well, duh!

We could not get him enrolled in school this year so he is home all morning with two younger kids.  None of our kids go very many places, so Adonis is here almost all of the time.  Rules and structure are difficult for him.  And because of that, he is in trouble frequently. 

I don't know whether he was a little stir crazy, fed up with the rules and being in trouble, or a combination, but he decided to leave this afternoon.  Matt left in a car and Nicole left on foot.  Both were looking for Adonis. I guess it should have been the other way around.

Denis, the groundskeeper, saw him leave.  He followed and watched.  When he saw him heading for Ojojona, Denis got to the police post and asked them to stop that kid.   Which they did.  We knew he was probably headed for Ojojona because his dad lives there.  When Matt drove through the police post, there was Denis, Adonis and the preacher.  This was a short-lived escape.

Please pray for this little boy as he tries to adjust to a world that is so completely foreign to him.
