Probate Court, it appears the poor kid (Johnny) was made a ward of the state in 1996. that is not done lightly. it is possible he committed a juvenile crime for this to be the case. or he was made a ward because he needed a Guardian for some other reason. he was only 7 so i doubt he was charged with a crime. something brought him to attention of the court.

Holy Crap!
Why would they do that? Maybe she and his dad were both imprisoned? If that were the case, though, wouldn't other family members take him in? I really wonder what could be so bad that a kid of SEVEN YEARS OLD would have ANY dealings with the court system?
My heart aches for Johnny sometimes. He seemed to have been a caring, loving boy. What would he have been like if he had been raised in a decent home? Would he have been on the other side of the badge? Would he have been an artist? So damn sad that we will never know.
I don't blame Johnny or Lisa. The blame lies elsewhere. They were two kids with plans. Her parents could have helped them make a decent life. But his old life just wouldn't go away...
