He was president of the PTA when he heard a young juvenile probation officer talk about the need for a home for those girls who had nowhere to go. She, along with many others, worked for three years to open their first home. In 1963, the first home housing five girls opened (High Sky Children's Ranch, 2011). In 1985 High Sky changed their license to accept both boys and girls, which allowed them to keep sibling groups together. In 1987 High Sky was licensed as a treatment facility to work with children who were more traumatized or needed a higher level of care and was later licensed as a therapeutic foster care facility. These programs help understand food hoarding, flat affectivity, nocturnal enuresis, lack of fear of strangers, inability to express emotions and sexualized behaviors. Coco also had a very negative view of police officers because she had witnessed her father's arrest. It was reported that Coco and her sister were left home alone quite often and there were many different people coming in and out of the house regularly. Before her foster home, Coco never had a stable home environment and had to care for herself and her sister while left alone. During his time in foster care he began to exhibit sexualized behaviors, aggression, inability to show emotion, and hyperactivity. He is currently taking medication for ADHD and has seen immediate results. He also attends therapy every two weeks and has a safety plan put in place for his safety and the safety of others.
