Abuse Part 4

It's been a couple weeks since dad had been arrested and the Carson's took me in. My social worker has been checking in like 3 times a week. I was getting dressed to go to the mall with Ally and Ben
Stan: Jay George is here
Jay: tell him to fuck off
Stan: Jay
Jay: No I'm not doing this today
Stan: Jay just come downstairs
I went downstairs and George was sat at the kitchen table
Jay: what do you want? What is there left to say?
George: there's been a report to DCFS. I have no choice but to remove you from the Carson's household
Jay: why?
George: they don't have a foster license
Valerie: We do have one
George: it expired last month
Jay: that's bullshit and even you know that
George: I'm sorry Jay but I don't have any control over this. If you don't come with me then the police will forcefully remove you
Jay: they treat me better than dad ever did. They would never treat me like he did. I basically live here. I've always been here more than my own home.
George: I understand that Jay
Jay: no you fucking don't. You can't just come here and tear up my life.
George: I'm not trying to a do that
Jay: then let me stay here
George: to do that then they need to renew their license

I was getting increasingly mad and was due to explode.
Jay: I'm not going into care. The last home you put me in they treated me just like dad. I can't go through that again. The Carson's are good people. I trust them they're good to me
George: you're not listening to me Jay. It's out of my control
I got up and walked out slamming the door behind me. I walked to the alibi and sat at the bar
V: how you doing Jay?
Jay: I'm fine
V: You look pissed off
Jay: my social worker is tryna put me in care
V: oh I'm sorry to hear that Jay. I heard about your dad
Jay: yeah I hope he rots in prison
V: You want a drink?
Jay: You got any Gatorade?
V: mhm
She passed me a bottle. We were talking when Hank walked in.
Hank: Jay
Jay: they called you
Hank: they were scared you got yourself into trouble. Said you were angry
Jay: he wants to put me in care. Someone reported me staying at the Corsons. I think it was dad.
Hank: I have a friend who works for DCFS so let me see what I can do
Jay: i can't go back into care
Hank: I'll see if I can sort something out

Hank pov
Jay had zoned out so I tapped his shoulder and he flinched
Jay: hmm
Hank: what's on your mind kiddo?
Jay: I wanna make a statement. I want him to be locked away forever
Hank: okay but you need an adult to be in there with you
Jay: okay
I drove us to Ally's and George was still here. We walked in
George: Voight
Hank: George
Valerie: is he in trouble?
Hank: no he wants to make a statement but needs an adult
Valerie: I'll go.
George: after we'll be making our way to your new foster home.
Jay: I'm not going to a fucking foster home
Hank: Jay we can deal with this later. George who's dealing with Jays case?
George: Hayley Carpenter
Hank: okay thanks
Me, Jay and Valerie made our way to the district and they went up to the interview room whilst I spoke to Trudy
Hank: hey can you try and get the Carson's foster license renewed? Use some of that Trudy charm. Even if you just get a temporary extension
Trudy: I'll see what I can do
Hank: thank you
I went into the interview room
Hank: before we start I've asked Trudy to see if there's anything we can do to allow you to stay with the Carson's
Valerie: thanks Hank
Hank: you ready to start?
Jay: would I have to see him?
Hank: no. If you have to testify it will be a video call.
Jay: what if I wanna see his face when he gets sent down?
Hank: you'll have to have a think about it
Jay: how much do I have to tell you?
Hank: as much as you want. This will be at your pace. We can stop whenever you want
Jay: how does this whole thing work?
Hank: I'll ask you some questions and you just try and answer the best you can. You ready?
Jay: mhm
Hank: okay so tell me what's your dad like?
Jay: he's a prick and a bully
Valerie: Jay
Jay: what he asked me what dads like so I told him
Hank: Can we talk about the most recent incident?
Jay: dad said he didn't want to have another phone call from school and that if he did I would be in for it.
Hank: what did he mean by in for it?
Jay: he'd hurt me
Hank: you wanna carry on?
Jay just nodded
Jay: I was getting in trouble in my lessons and I had a fight at lunch. They called dad in and I could tell he was pissed. They were saying that I was suspended and after we would have a meeting to see if they were going to expel me. The meeting finished and we got in the car. He was just having a go. When we got home he left for work and a few hours came back drunk
Hank: does he get drunk often?
Jay: yeah most days
Hank: what happened when he came home?
Jay: he just started shouting from downstairs. He told me to go down the stairs. He was sat in the kitchen. He threw a bottle at my head and it smashed. He was saying mean things
Hank: like what Jay?
Jay: he said 'why did your mom leave me with a useless hyperactive spastic like you? What did I do to deserve it? I reacted and said he should've died instead of mom. It's my fault. I pushed him to it
Hank: no matter what he shouldn't have put his hands on you. What happened after?
Jay: he threw me against the wall and was punching and kicking me. Whilst I was on the floor he was stamping on me. I got up and he punched me in the ribs. He went out and came back in and he was smoking. I noticed he was rubbing his arm.
Hank: would he hurt you with the cigarette?
Jay: he would put the lit part on my arm
Jay showed me his arm and there were scars old and new
Jay: that's when I ran to ally's after he burned me.
Hank: what happened at the Carson's the next day?
Jay: after breakfast he was banging in the door shouting. I ran through the back door and hid in the garden. Dad left and I asked for the Carson's to help me. I panicked and left.
Valerie: that's when I called you
Jay: I went back to the Carson's and told them about dad and how he was hurting me. I then realised what I did and went back home. It was okay. Dad was really high he probably didn't know what planet I was on. The second night he hurt me because I didn't make the pasta bake how mom made it. He threw a glass and a chair at me then threw me against the wall. I ran upstairs and that's when I called you. When I locked myself in the bathroom. Dad was so mad I thought that he was gonna kill me. He threw me in the bathtub and ran the shower head over my face. I couldn't breathe. That's when you came and saved me.
Hank: one last question okay?
Jay: mhm
Hank: how long has this been going on
Jay: since my mom died when I was 10 so like 6 years
Hank: we've got everything we need
Jay: so he'll get locked up
Hank: yep you may not even need to testify
Jay: can I go now?
Hank: of course you can. I'll check in with you soon okay
