Treatment for Danny Boy

"I love you my little Danny Boy"



Beinning: A young teacher, Ms. Daniels, is beginning her first year of being a Kindergarten teacher. It was the first day of school, the busiest day of her life, a day that she also would never forget. That day she meets a young boy named Danny, and his mother. He is a very quiet little boy, extremely shy and is always secluding himself. His mother is truly the only one that could understand him. His mother is his only friend.



Middle: One day, Ms. Daniels recieves a chilling phone call. Danny's mother had been in a sudden car crash and had been killed on impact. Danny had asked to have a call be sent to her, the only person he trusted now that his mother was gone. Throughout the rest of the story the Danny and Ms. Daniels begin to develop a better relationship, and she soon feels the love that his mother must of had for him. Danny begins to trust his teacher, and soon begins to love her as he once loved his mother. He begins to interact with the other children. All of a sudden, something changes again, and he begins to seclude himself again. Ms. Daniels began to notice bruises and cuts on Danny's face and arms, not to mention him not wanting to go home. He would always come up with an excuse such as falling down on the way to school, or accidently falling of his bike. Things only got worse when he would start showing up on her doorstep late at night with a bloody nose or a black eye. Ms. Daniels finally had the courage to look into the situation. She learns that he now lives in a small apartment with his father, a cold man who never said much to anyone. She goes to the police to look for background on his dad. It turns out that there had been domestic abuse calls from his mother before she had died. Ms. Daniels is now determined to get Danny away from her father. She had called the police and they said that they would investigate.



End: One day, Ms. Daniels noticed that Danny wasn't there. She knew something was wrong, for her had been very proud of his perfect attendance record. She calls in for a substitute teacher and rushes over to Danny's small apartment. She smashed a nearby window with a large rock, and climbed into the apartment. The lights were off, but glass and pillows spread across the floor, there had been an obvious struggle. In the middle of the mess, Danny lay on the floor, unconsious and injured badly. She calls 911 and an ambulance rushes him to the hospital. The police arrest his father. As she waits in the hospital with Danny, she doesn't leave or sleep. She didn't want him to have to go into a child home or have to go into foster care, because she knew that he wouldn't do well, and she loved him too much to seem him be in a bad situation. She decides to adopt him. She now has the son that she always wanted, he has a mother who loves him dearly once more, and she also saved his life.
