Arnold is an eight-year-old Caucasian boy who has lived with his grandmother since birth in a low-income, urban neighborhood. He is physically small and shows signs of cognitive delay. While Arnold frequently talks on the phone with his mother, he has not seen her in two years. Arnold believes that he will never live with his mother because "she won't be out of prison until I am 21." Arnold has met his father once, but does not have any contact with him. While Arnold does not live with his biological siblings, he sees them regularly and appears to have positive relationships with them. Arnold has known about and witnessed considerable violence over the course of his life. When he was younger, his mother shot herself in the leg with a handgun. His fourteen-year-old cousin was recently killed. He sees relatives take drugs on a regular basis. He reported that he feels unsafe at school because children often make fun of him and occasionally beat him up. Finally, Arnold reported a high level of exposure to drug deals and violence in his immediate neighborhood. Arnold reported feeling happy "almost all of the time" with his grandmother. He feels safest in his grandmother's home and doesn't generally go outside. He is glad that his grandmother always knows where he is and never leaves him alone. He told us that his grandmother "respects me, buys me clothes, cooks for me, takes care of me when I am sick, plays games with me, helps me with my homework, and lets me sharpen my own pencils." He likes having his own room with his own television, home video game system, toys, and games. He is also proud of the awards that his grandmother has displayed around the house to remind the family of Arnold's school achievements. Arnold identified a couple of things that he doesn't like about living with his grandmother: the roaches (in the kitchen and top drawer of his bedroom dresser) and the strong smell of cigarettes.
