Story
OKDHS is working a prevention case with a family that has 4 children. The oldest went to live with his father for the first time. His father is trying to provide safety and stability for this young man while this young man's mother works to correct conditions so that this young man can come back to her home. This child has been through some hardships and has some behaviors. He is beginning therapy and his father is struggling to get his son to listen to him. This father has no way to reach this young man or keep track of his whereabouts and that is causing him distress. This father works, but does not make enough money to make ends meet.
We are asking to help with providing this child with a pre-paid phone that will allow his father to keep track of him and to get in touch with him in case of emergency.
Thank you for considering this request to help provide an extra layer of safety and accountability for this child. Than you for all you do for our community every day!
