A young Native child had a good life, his parents were so thrilled and full of joy that they were going to have a boy. When he was born life was good, they loved him unconditional, then as he got old enough to walk and talk, his life turned for the worst. His parents started to turn to drinking, because the father lost his job, and the mother's sister died of kidney failure, because she drank herself to death.

Every pay check they got from the government, they would go to White Clay Nebraska, to buy liquor and stay there, they would leave him alone and he had to dress himself and get ready by himself for school, even make breakfast for himself, he didn't have anybody to go to. Then his parents would come home and pass out on the bed or have big parties at their house.  When he was 10 that's when it started to get violent. But he loved his parents even though they beat him. He wants to help his parents get better, but that all changes when some foster parents step in to help.

THE FORGOTTEN CHILDREN

Summer is here, and everybody is in joying their day out of school, the kids are out playing, and hanging out, and going to Batty's Station to get a coke. Jesse and his friends hung out quite a bit. Then one-day Jesse stopped hanging out with his friends, they started to get worried. So, they went over to his house to check up on him and nobody was home, they knocked on the door, nobody answered, the blinds were closed, the door was locked, but Jesse was inside, he didn't answer the door.


"Jesse, are you home, it's us," said Richard.


Jesse didn't make a sound, didn't even come to the door, he just stayed in his room. He was hurt bad, he had to give himself stiches above his eyebrow again, one side of his ribs were cracked, which his father used an object, surprisingly he didn't shatter his ribs, or pierced his lung, he had a bruise on his jaw line, his back was red, from them kicking and stomping on him, and throwing him around like a rag doll, his abdomen was red and bruised from them kicking and punching him. Then again, he let them because he loved them, they were his parents. His friends called Walker right away, and Walker sped down to Jesse's house and banged on the door.


"Jesse, it's me Walker, open the door son," said Walker.


Jesse had relief in his eyes but he still didn't answer the door, he loved Walker, Walker was like the father he wished he had. But he still stayed in his room laying on his bed, he really didn't want to get up, because the slightest movement was very painful for him, so he chose to stay on his bed. Finally, Walker steeped down and looked and saw Jesse's parents walking towards the house.


"Ah hey (hello) Walker, he's inside in his room," said Grey Owl.


"I'm taking him with me, this has to stop, or I'll arrest you," said Walker.


"Walker, you forget, this is the reservation, you have no power over here, and what we do is none of your business," said White Dove.


"When it comes to these kids, it is my business, now let me inside," said Walker.


"Nope, you're not coming in my house," Grey Owl unlocking the door and opening.


"He's not going to come Walker, he locks himself in his room, so I suggest you better get off my property, all of you," said Grey Owl slamming the door and locking it.


"I know, there's nothing I can do unless I get the reservation police involved, which I know will help me," said Walker.


"I just don't want to wait too long," said Alvina.


"I know guys, I know you care for him, but this takes time and patience," said Walker.


So, they all looked at Jesse's house and walked away. Never seen him again.
