I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for help. “Please God, I cant do anything more for my son. Im at the end of my rope.

Ive tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. Its out of my hands. ” For a moment there was silence on the other and of the line.
