Johnny Cade is a 16-year-old boy who lives in the neighborhood of Meadowbrook, with his mom and dad. Johnny’s parents are abusive, and he takes his parents’ abuse to him personally. On top of that, he doesn't quite get enough to eat, and he often sleeps outdoors.

The boys quickly found the kids and handed them out through the window to safety. After dropping the last kid out the window, Johnny shoved Pony out the window, and the roof collapsed.
