A Brief Summary Of Jacob's Visit To The Starr Home

This visit took place at the Starr home with Morgan Starr and Jacob. When I arrived to the home, the family was just pulling up to the residence. When Jacob got out of the car he appeared to be upset. Morgan reported that Jacob had a rough day at daycare. It was reported that Jacob was in time out 7 times during the day and that each time he took his shoes off and threw them. Jacob was observed to put his head down and appeared to be upset with his behavior choices. Morgan reported that as a consequence, Jacob will not be able to have his usual cartoon time in the evening, but would rather have to find something else to do such as read a book.

Morgan reported that overall Jacob has been doing well in his daycare, but she reported that sometimes he has his days. Morgan reported that Jacob is currently learning to do some chores around the home. It is reported that Jacob helps to clean up his belongings, puts his clothes in the dirty clothes, and helps with other small age appropriate tasks around the home. Morgan reported that Jacob does very well and is always open to help out.

During this visit, I conducted my Quarterly inspection of the home.

Morgan, Jacob, and I practiced a fire drill by setting off one of the fire alarms and then going to the designated area; for the fire we went outside in front of the neighbor’s home and for the disaster we went into the hall bathroom which is located in the middle of the home. Jacob told me that during a tornado warning, the family went into the bathroom and the boys got into the bathtub and his moms sat right outside of the bath. Jacob stated that they had pillows and blankets and they read books. The family appears to have a great understanding of what to do in the event of a fire or severe

weather.

Morgan reported that the biological father of Jacob reached out to her and asked for pictures of Jacob and for a visit. Morgan reported that she informed the biological father that his rights had been terminated and that he should contact his attorney. Morgan reported that the biological father attempted to get “nasty” on the test messages and reported that he made a statement referring to the family trying to take his son. Morgan reported that if he reaches out to the family again then Morgan will just change her number so that she does not have to deal with this type of behavior.

After speaking with Morgan, I asked Jacob to show me his bedroom. Jacob took me into his bedroom and showed me his bed and all of his “cool” and “awesome” toys. I attempted to have a meaningful conversation with Jacob, but Jacob did not appear to have the attention span to focus on my questions. Jacob and I sat in his room for a bit looking at his toys and he told me all about them and the shows that they are from.

There are currently no concerns with Jacob in the Starr home.
