Kay-PO !!!
Yesterday was night shift...
All seems peaceful until one couple came into post (Its like 0115hrs).
They informed that their daughter, 13 years of age never return home.
They tried to call up her up on the mobile phone but she never pick up the call.
They knew that recently their daughter was mixing with this older girl (born year 1983).
So they tried to contact this girl as she had left her contact number with them but she didn't pick up the call nither on her mobile phone nor her house phone.
They became worried and came to post to see if we could help them.
They gave me the phone number and my colleague called up those numbers, however there wasn't anyone picking up the call.
So they were seeking advice as to how to handle their daughter who is rebellious to them...
and I was telling them to seek help from the family service centre (a place where counselling is available to help families having some difficulties in family problems) and also advice them that if the situation between them and their daughter became worst, its best for them to go to MCYS or the juvenile court to file for "beyond parental control" so that the judge will decide for them if their daugther is really beyond their control.... and will decide to sent to a home or to give a probation period... but ultimatly its still up to themselves to decide...
While giving them the legal avenues regarding this problem, the girl (the friend of their daugther) called up post. She sounded something like this " WHAT THE IS WRONG?? WHY THE PARENTS MUST THIS??? I AM COMING DOWN TO THE POST" (She was literally screaming into the phone)
When she arrived, she claimed to be a part time church worker (who work with kids) and shes also running a business. She claim that the parents know that their daughter is with her and that they had her address, why didn't they come to her house to look for her.
While I was trying to explain that the parents didn't want to go over to her place because they don't want to have any form of confrontation with her and that we called her up because someone came to us for help and we couldn't say no. (in this line... its not morally right to reject people who came to us for help, coz if we can't help, we would refer them to whoever could)
But then instead of getting that into her head, she began to critise about the way they brought up their daughter and how the daughter turn out like that (rebellious) because of them.
She even went on to say how the daugher is suppose to learn good things from them when by 2400hrs they were often not even home. She say that she did all those things like providing their daughter a job is because she see a potential in her.... (like wat the..... see potential in her of what?? helping her sell ice-cream??) *Faint*
Anyway their daughter only returned home like 0115hrs....
( I was thinking common man.. this is their style of teaching and so what if they are not home by 12 mid-night?? Its their family problem and they are her legal guardian. what rights to you have to interfere or critise them?? besides your only like 22.... and they are a parents of 2 kids)
Anyway during the whole conversation she sounded as though what she is doing is only right and that the parents are too much. Never in the conversation did she thought that the parents are there only because their daughter is outside and they are worried for her.
She sounded like a total B****( sorry can't find another word to describe her).
Though the whole thing was going no where after 3hours or so.... I decide to break their conversation (arguement should be the correct word) since its going no where and ask the parents to think about the avenues I had given to them.
As for this girl.... I decided not to waste time to talk to her... but in my best possible way explain to her the way we do things and then ask her to leave... because if I go on arguing with her, I probably take a gun and shoot either her or myself....
Can't stand people who think that they are the only person who knows and is doing the right thing, the rest of the world is wrong....
Okie enough of this... driving me nuts thinking such people exist........
Anyway yesterday, during sunday school, they were talking about characteristic of GOD's workman....
One of the criteria was to be able to listen.
Able to listen to what is spoken , the unspoken and the spritual meaning.
Someone then asked how to you listen to the unspoken words??
For me I guess is how still you are while listening....
I mean the more still you are, the more you are paying attention to the other party, be it GOD or any other person.
By paying attention, somehow or rather you can obesrve if that during a conversation, you will be able to detect if there is some unsaid stuff...
It was a pretty fruitful sunday class anyway.... made me wanna read the book characteristic of GOD's workman be watch man lee....
Oh..... Yeah... 39 days more till ORD.... WAHAHA..... so looking forward to it....
But I think I will miss this lifestyle too.... and the job is fun-ness (if theres such a word)....
:)
