I was also touched by the study case Ringo: scars of violence in chapter 11 ((Golden, 2002). It is so sad that at such a young age Larry had being witnessed a family murder, being physically disfigured, and being rejected by his mother. I think that the fact that Larry was living for three years in a publicly funded residential treatment center for emotionally disturbed children was not good for him. I am certain that Larry’s idea that he and the other children were “crazy” and counselors could not get upset with them came from those three years living in the residential home. The counselor calls to Larry’s mother, offering Larry’s mother to pay for her expenses in order to visit Larry, and taking Larry to visit his mother was overinvesting
