Arrived June 2010, Mike was 2 years old when his mother, according to social workers, had become a threat to his safety. There was strong evidence that she planned to harm him, wanting to be done with the responsibility of motherhood. She was very young and had been on and off the streets, in and out of street kid programs for six or seven years. It was a horrible experience to drive out of the Children’s Office parking lot, holding tightly to Mike as he clawed at the window, trying to get out of the car. He was screaming for his mother, and she was laughing at him! He loves his mom so much! He had absolutely no idea the fate that would await him if he was left with her.
Mike is a quiet boy, who likes to play outside, but tends to play by himself a lot. He never passes up chance to be snuggled!
