Leslie called me to say that one of the girls she got through to called with a number where Ben was. Later, the girl called back and asked if Ben had called her.
Eventually she got through to him. At first he didn't want to come home, but when she said his parent teacher conference was tomorrow, he said that if he caught the train he'd miss it. so, She went to Albuquerque to pick him up.
I asked her to text me when she got him. She texted that he is home and they would both be in school tomorrow. She needs to make some decisions about him.
