So this is what I'm trying to glean.....What was the typical daily routine on a school day for the 4 kids?
1. Wake up in a single room in a shelter that used to be a hospital.
2. Go to the cafeteria by yourselves because mom is still crashed out. (pj's or school clothes?)
3. Not allowed in to the cafeteria to eat because of no adult present.
4. Go find Mr. Tatum the janitor - cuz he can get you in to eat.
5. Go back to the room. Get dressed for school. (Who all went to school besides Reliesha?)
6. Wait for Aunt or Grandma to arrive at shelter to take to school (5 days a week??) Or did mom take them sometimes??) Walking distance? By car? By Bus?
7. School is over. Wait to be picked up by mom? Aunt? Gmom? Tatum?
8. Go where???
9. Were the 2 youngest brothers enrolled in a program for littles at the school? (They keep saying they took the "kids" to "school". It all sounds very responsible at first glance.) Did they all just walk together or did all 4 actually have a place to be in the school? Why would they drag all 4 (especially in winter) if all 4 weren't enrolled? (My point: maybe Relisha was on a different schedule than the boys. (Keep 3 at home in jammies and only one is school age, for now?)
10. Which is closer to the school? The shelter, or a relatives house?
11. What was the typical weekend routine?
Even tho mom is the primary care-giver, who was really the primary care-giver????? Getting young kids to school every morning is no picnic. If you went out of your way to get up and get a relative's child or children to school on a regular basis - wouldn't you be miffed if you showed up only to find out that one of them slept over somewhere else last night, and didn't need you to take them to school??? And then what about picking them up? (OOP's, sorry! Someone already picked them up!)
After all the interviews it seems like every adult is trying to minimize the percentage of time they were with Relisha. Therefore any possible responsibility.
maybe I'm just tripping......but who was responsible for, and how were the kids getting to school? Who was REALLY in their lives for them?
