I hate it here, and everyone's insane! Everyone! My roommates talk about killing people for fun! Please! I don't want to be here any more! I promise I won't do anything stupid again! I'm not crazy, I swear it! I was just being silly. I won't do that any more, I promise. If you'll just let me come home! I'll study hard and everything! And Christmas is in a few days. I don't want to be alone! I have no-one here. They're all homicidal maniacs, I swear it!

Please, Mum. Please. If you ever loved me, ever, please just send for me. Don't ask Dad, just... send the car for me. Please!

I miss you.

Incident Report

__________________________________________________________________

Resident Name: Cecil Sharpe
Reporting Staff Name: Dr. Maxwell Rose
Notes: Patient was found in the men's room during the Christmas celebration after being attacked by a still unknown assailant. Initial examination on sight revealed a broken nose and a split in the back of his head, both injuries bleeding. Cecil, along with the other boy, were taken to he medical building to be tended to. Medical report to be attached later.

Therapy Report

__________________________________________________________________

Resident Name: Cecil Sharpe
Therapist Name: Dr. Maxwell Rose
Patient Observations: Cecil was fidgety and nervous through the entire session. He stared off into the room, unable to look at me, only actually making eye contact when I said we'd stop the questions. he was obviously afraid of something, unable to sit still and constantly gripping the blankets. He seemed relieved when I ended the questions and reluctant to take the pain medication provided. This coupled with the reports that he was aroused when he was found and during treatment for his wounds leads me to believe that Cecil might not be self harming as originally thought but a sexual masochist. Further therapy sessions, either with Dr. Savage or myself should focus on this fact.
Therapy Report: I went to question Cecil about the incident and immediately he insisted that he fell. The hast of his answer and then his inability to give any other clear answers tells me this was planned but he didn't think anything else through. His story then changed to not remembering much and that it was all black after dinner but I reminded him about this earlier statement that he fell. I asked if he knew which way he fell and after some thought he 'guessed' that he fell forward then backward. I asked if he remembered anything else, such as if anyone else has been in the room, and he began significantly upset and was difficult to understand. At this point I ended the questioning and attempted to calm him by just talking and I even told him he was allowed to come by my office at any time.
Notes: Cecil was lying through most of the session and I suspect it's due to fear of the one who attacked him. Although, given the nature of what could be a new diagnosis it isn't possible to rule out that the encounter was consensual and then took a turn. It should be noted that Cecil was found in the bathroom with Isaiah Petit, another boy diagnosed as a sexual masochist. I do not believe they were hurting each other given their injuries but they should be monitored closely just in case.

Therapist Change

__________________________________________________________________

Resident Name: Cecil Sharpe
Reporting Staff Name: Dr. Maxwell Rose
Notes: Patient's therapist has been changed from Dr. Mathias Savage to me, Dr. Maxwell Rose.

Mum,

Maybe you didn't get my letter yet or something. Or maybe you think I'm just making stuff up. But I'm really not, I promise. I didn't mean to sound so weird before, but I swear I'm not making this up. I'm not! This place is hell! You sent me to hell! My roommates want to kill me, or themselves, or anyone. They're all crazy people, and I'm not a crazy person! I was just being stupid, and I won't do it again.

My Christmas was horrible! My nose is broken and they had to stitch my head up. I told you I'm not making it up! Please, send the car for me. Please! I think I will go crazy if I stay in this place, and then they'll never let me into med school! I'll even go back to boarding school if I have to, only don't leave me here, please! I'm afraid of what's going to happen to me if I stay here. I don't have any friends and I'm lonely, and they make me feed the animals and shovel droppings in the cold and the rain. I feel like everyone hates me, and they're all so deranged!

I want to come home!

Cecil



... P.S. Thank you for the Christmas presents.

Dormitory Reassignment

Resident Name: Cecil Sharpe
Previous Dormitory: Dormitory 1
New Dormitory: Dormitory 3
Assigned Bunk: Top 1

New or Additional Chores Assignment

__________________________________________________________________

Resident Name: Cecil Sharpe
Reporting Staff Name: Dr. Maxwell Rose
Assigned Chore Group: Livestock Chorse
New Chores Group: Stable Chores
Reason For Assignment: During a recent therapy session Cecil admitted to being attacked by another resident in the barn and the trauma of the event makes it difficult to function in the setting. For now, while we explore the trauma and his issues, he'll be reassigned to prevent further damage to his mental state.
Notes: None.

Mum,

I know you don't really care, which is obvious from the fact that you haven't even replied to my other letters, but I really need to get out of here now. I'm not joking around, not that I was before. I'm deadly serious, with an emphasis on deadly. If you won't help me and save me from this place then I'll have to find another way. I doubt you want me back at home, but I've been doing a lot of thinking, and you're right. I probably am crazy. But I don't belong here, and if I don't get out of here soon I might never get out of here.

If I don't hear back from this letter I'll assume you've just written me off entirely. I'll assume I'm on my own. Though I guess that's no different from usual really. You're hardly ever there anyway. You never listen to me or spend time with me, and Dad's more interested in his clients than his own son anyway, which he makes painfully clear. If you care at all, you'll come and get me, or at least send the car for me if you can't even bear to spend a few hours in a vehicle with me. I'll see the stupid therapist and I'll take the stupid meds if you'll just let me come home.

Your son, (in case you forgot)

Cecil

Therapy Report

__________________________________________________________________

Resident Name: Cecil Sharpe
Therapist Name: Dr. Maxwell Rose
Patient Observations: Cecil entered the group therapy room and seemed afraid, scanning it like he was looking for someone. I can only assume he was looking for Harold. He took a seat beside Milton and through the session there was casual conversation between the two. As it was not disruptive to the group and not inappropriate in manner I allowed it. Throughout the session Cecil reached up to scratch behind his ear, a behavior I have noticed in the boy over time but did not think much of until now. As he becomes more and more nervous he seemed to have the compulsion to scratch. He was eventually asked to sit on his hands and he became indignant and tense afterward. Cecil was asked to remain in the hall so that I could speak to him after I tended to another resident. When he came back in he resumed sitting on his hands. After not getting much out of him he was permitted to leave but he stopped and spoke more. Afterward he was released.
Therapy Report: The topic was feelings and the children were instructed to tell me how they felt. No specific topic was given because I wanted them to be honest. Cecil's response was quick and he started with angry before correcting himself with disgusted. He then changed his mind yet again and said he was fine. I asked why he was angry and he said he wasn't that he was fine. I moved on from Cecil at that point, knowing that the boy would keep denying his feelings. He seemed to relax when he thought he got away with the answer and that had been the point. Cecil is most honest when he's taken by surprise.

At the end of the session I spoke about honesty, trying to make the children understand that by being honest with their therapists and the staff that they stood a chance to leave Highgrove and live their life. I had hoped Cecil would answer but when he didn't I asked him to wait in the hall while I spoke to Ace. When he came in he sat and once again I asked why he was angry. He said he guessed wasn't really angry and hinted that Aubrey made him uncomfortable. His answers were evasive and didn't take the opportunity to open up. I told him he may leave but reminded him that if he wanted to leave Highgrove he'd need to talk to me and tell me what was going on. He stopped half way to the door and began to speak with his back to me. Since this seemed to make it easier for him to open up I allowed it.

The topic turned immediately to Harold and he told me he felt that the other boy was going to do something. Cecil seemed confident that he'd overheard him telling the staff about what he'd done. (Note: During the blackout, after a fight with Harold, Cecil admitted that the other boy had been sexually abusing him and forcing himself on him for some time) He added that Harold makes him feel certain things and that he's confused about the boy. He went on to say that he'd seen Harold in the halls the day before and the boy looked "really pissed off." Cecil added that Harold pushed him into a wall as he passed.
Notes: I will continue to work with Cecil on his issues and hope to help him achieve his goal of leaving Highgove. I will be placing Cecil on anti-anxiety medication starting tomorrow. I also recommend that Harold and Cecil be kept separate at all times and not allowed any contact. Any staff who see the two in close proximity should split them up and inform myself or Dr. Bjorgen.

Medication Addition

Notes: Cecil will be starting on 10mg of Lexapro once daily with dinner. After observation the dosage may be increased. Force is approved if necessary and patient should be brought directly to my office afterward.

Behavioural Report

__________________________________________________________________

Resident Name: Cecil Sharpe
Reporting Staff Name: Dr. Maxwell Rose
Behavioural Observation: After witnessing Cecil smash his hand in a door in a restricted area of the house he was taken to the North Cumbria Area Hospital. After receiving surgery he was returned to Highgrove. In the recent weeks I have taken Cecil to the hospital for multiple visits to check on the progress of the hand. The pins have come out and his hand is now in a cast.
Measures Taken: After returning to Highgrove Cecil was placed in seclusion and has remained there since. Given his mental and emotional state I felt that keeping him in a place where he could be monitored was beneficial to the healing of his hand. He's been medicated with the hospital prescribed 50mg of meperidine hydrochloride as well as 1mg of lorazepam. Cecil has been allowed to come down for meals and has received exercise several times a day. Now that the pins are out and the cast is on he will be rejoining the population. He will continue to receive the lorazepam, although he will be switched from IV to oral, and will be on 5/500mg of hydrocodone for the pain as needed.

Therapy Report

__________________________________________________________________

Resident Name: Cecil Sharpe
Therapist Name: Dr. Maxwell Rose
Patient Observations: Cecil was first to arrive at the session and he took his seat without a word. As Cecil is currently on medication for both his hand and his mental state he was mostly vacant through the session. I had to ask some questions multiple times to get him to focus and he spoke out of turn toward the end of the session. There isn't much else to report on behavior.
Therapy Report: The topic today was family and while I had not concrete plan, I was interested in the reactions of the residents to the subject. It was a sensitive subject for them all. Cecil defined family as quote: "soulless, bloodsucking, money-grabbing, greedy imposters." I asked again, wanting him to give me a general definition rather than focusing on his family. He replied that they were genetic donors and seemed saddened by this idea. He added that the thought was depressing. When I came back around to Cecil and asked why he thought of his family this way he simply responded because they were. I asked him to elaborate and he said they were soulless and only cared about money and their reputation. I felt that the medication was preventing Cecil from really explaining and exploring his feelings toward his family so the questioning ended there.

Cecil spoke out of turn when I got around to Keziah, commenting on the question I was asking her. This sparked the discussion that took us off the topic of family. I felt that this was an okay turn of events and continued with it. This was then the topic turned to why the kids were there. I asked by show of hands which would prefer to go back to their old life or stay at Highgrove. Cecil raised his hand with the others although he did not elaborate on his reasoning.
Notes: Cecil medication will continue for now although I may lower the dose of Lorazepam for our next session. I do want to go into detail about his parents and why he feels the way he does about them.
