Ok, I've got a lot of questions now. Firstly, how much of this is based on someone real? It's certainly interesting, but one thing I'd like to find out more, is how the child ended up so quickly in a special place. Can it be done so quickly? It seemed to happen pretty fast.

I've actually looked after a 12yr old boy in the psych ward, who was simply out of control at home, and hurting his little sisters badly. He was incredibly manipulative, but with the most innocent face. This story rings a bell. 

I like it, despite not being a fan of present tense. Am keen to read more. It's getting really interesting now.
