For most parents the nightmare of having a son who is having difficulty in school takes a turn for the worse when he gets suspended from school. For Sarah and her husband Phil, the phone call from the school saying that their son Joey was being suspended could not have come at a worse time. Phil had already missed a lot of work dealing with the problems his son was having and now Sarah also was in danger of losing her job. Everything they had tried up until now didn't work. The counselors, the behavioral plans, the contracts, all seemed to have very little effect on Joey. They needed help and they needed it fast. Their only options were to leave Joey at home during the day and just hope he stayed out of trouble or leave him at Phil's dads house. The problem with the latter was that Phil's dad was elderly and Joey could easily sneek out if he wanted to.

As Phil and Sarah discussed their options the thought of their son and the terrible future he was designing for himself, brought Sarah to tears several times.
