It is believed that Jose has suffered developmental and language delay caused by the alcohol and drug usage by one of the biological parent at the time of conception. The child witnessed at a tender age the physical and verbal abuse from the father towards the mother. This may explain the child’s outbursts of violence and verbal hostility. The onset of the divorce changed Jose’s environment by having him put abruptly into a daycare facility. Since this time period, the child has not seen or heard from his father. Immediately after these events Jose started to exhibit severe signs of nervousness and aggression. This may be caused by feelings of abandonment by the father and by the mother placing him in a public care facility for many hours
