Why did the kid run away in the first place? And shouldn't Silva's mom be charged as well? Wasn't she an accompice if she let the kid stay there?
He has somewhat of an odd homelife. Living with his stepdad (legal guardian) and his wife. His mom is in Texas somewhere and not able to care for him. His biological dad?...nobody around here seems to know about him. The kid has problems with authority and his parents had problems with him, the usual problem. Having this teenage flop house near his home was no help. Silva's mom is a work of art and should bear some responsibility.
