Treatment Draft

David is 11 he’s never been very popular and likes to keep himself to himself other kids at school would tease him for the simple fact that he is different, they would also tease him about the past of parents he wouldn’t speak to anyone and wouldn’t leave his bedroom except for when he had to go to school. His parents would shout at him and ask him why he couldn’t be normal like the other kids they would often beat him whilst under the heavy influence of alcohol and wouldn’t sometimes leave him on his own to fend for himself. He lived in a world were violence, drinking, abuse, shouting and the slamming of doors was a regular occurrence- he had nobody but himself. Davids parents passed away when he was 13 years old in a traffic accident, it is believed that they were both highly under the influence of drugs and alcohol. David didn’t have any family that he knew of therefore he was sent to an orphanage where his life took a drastic turn.

It started on a cold winter night, David was sitting in his room working on a science project, but how could he concentrate- with everything happening? All he could hear was screaming and shouting coming from downstairs so he decided to go for a walk to clear his head and get some space. As he was walked over to a isolated bench he wondered if anyone would ever befriend him or even take a little time to ask him if he was alright, suddenly he hears footsteps coming towards him, a middle aged man was walking his dog and the dog wondered towards David, conversation struck between the man and David which was regretted shortly after by the man
