2 ) Shawon, a 17-year-old African American Male, whose father died three years ago, forcing his mother to work full time as a maid at Hotel 6.
3 ) Monique, a 14-year-old Hispanic female whose parents are still together.
What will be an ideal response?
Shawon would be the likeliest one on aftercare.
