    So apparently child protection have taken note of the troubles they caused and have decided I’ll be spending the next week at a hotel. Odd decision, seems cheaper to just move the new one out and then everyone would be better off, but I’m not going to complain. It seems like a flashy one and has an indoor gym.

    I get to escape the chaos of this place and the weird workers they’ve put here (that’s a whole other rant, but some rando who refuses to talk to you sleeping on your couch is kind of uncomfortable). And if I put a water jug in my fridge, it won’t go missing!

      Maybe they see you are more responsible to be in a hotel than the other person? Bonus, you’ll hopefully get to enjoy better heating during this cold snap! Hope they sort it out and you can get back to your home soon.

        Most likely. I spent about a month on my own when the old LT went on holiday to Indonesia. And I’ve never caused intentional property damage and don’t smoke (they’d be worried about the bond) But they’re paying a lot of money for the 24/7 workers just for the other kid, I would’ve thought it’d have been cheaper to move him back to a Resi (which does also have 24/7 staffing, but is subsided by 3 other kids)

        I was told that the regional manager is back (he was away and his replacement was a dick and didn’t raise his concerns about the new kid being placed here) and he’s not happy with the situation and agreed to represent the agency and push for the new kid to be moved out (they’re the ones paying for the workers, which ultimately comes from their profit margin, so they’re incentivised to move a lower maintenance person in anyway).

        The program manager seems to think he will be moved out after I, the old LT and 2 people from my care team all wrote letters about the situation. But there’s no timeframe for that, could be a few days, or it could be a few weeks. But probably not more than a month if the department agrees he’s not suitable for lead tenant.

        so...

        So I’ve actually been kicked out of 1 Resi house before, and from the day the organisation decided they wanted nothing to do with me until I was somewhere else was about 17 days. I won’t get into it, but I was an angry kid placed in a bad situation
