Sometimes, he slapped the arms of his grandmother or use swear words. Debbie stated that she would talk to the child saying that that is not right. Debbie also mentioned that Christian has a high regard with his grandfather that he follows him whatever was asked of him without being frustrated or aggressive. He said he is very close to his grandfather who taught him a lot of things like skating and rock climbing. Unfortunately, he cannot be present an interview as he works at night. However, the worker suggested that the grandfather be updated of the participation of the Society, and if he has anything to say, they could relay it to Andy.
