I know! Another fic! Well, its the Christmas Holidays, I'm ill and very bored... So enjoy and please review!
Assessment of Jacqueline Burrows. 5th May 1989
Since her mother abandoned her on the 19th of April, even after vast encouragement, Jacqueline has formed no relationships with staff or fellow inmates. After arriving here two weeks ago, Jacqueline has not dared to venture from her room on the second floor, except for bathroom breaks and school.
It is clear that she blames herself for what happened and she yearns for her mother's protection – though Paula has given us no intention that she will return for her daughter. Jacqueline has lost all trust in adults, an issue that will have to be resolved over time – we are considering therapy.
We have talked to Jacqueline about the mysterious absence of her father as we have no previous records of him. Unwillingly, after being interviewed vigorously from the police (where she revealed nothing), she told us about his death, which was, with the information we can gather, due to a heroin overdose. Unfortunately, Jacqueline may have witnessed this event and may have been subjected to abuse, as her mother left her alone with her father on several occasions. We have organised for her to meet with various physiologists, but she has refused to cooperate.
I strongly believe that this has scarred Jac for life, and no one will be able to cure that.
Her mental capability is outstanding; she has enlightened us with her strong views and she desires to be a doctor. Though, money is a concern, which needs to be decided nearer the time. She is very determined and focused – qualities with are useful here at Green Acres Care Home. Conversely, it still confounds us that she deems herself incapable of making friends, yet she certainty is in need of them.
Jacqueline is a mystery to many, and she fully intends to stay that way. We at Green Acres Care Home aim to rid Jacqueline of the memories from the past so that she can live her life completely normally.
I do hope that we succeed.

Social Worker.
