Who will be visiting your house this Christmas?

After working for several years in the Juvenile Justice System, Patrick's faith in the families he worked with was beginning to feel the strain. Many of the delinquents and their parents were extremely self-centered and apathetic to the feelings of their victims. No amount of caring, talking, or advice seemed to help them change.
