Sad news, & happy news!!

Yesterday, I asked the art teacher at school where a particular student I had been working with, was.  She informed me that the student was back in Juvy.  I became very sad with this news. I think they are a great kid, just making bad choices.
I found out this morning that the student was caught in the act of graffitting. 
I was again saddened by this choice.
I felt yesterday, when I was first told, that I should go there and see them.  Is this a right thing?  
I am not sure.  I just know that deep down inside them, is a good person waiting to be found???
I am under no obligation to go there, but I feel I should.  Jeff says I need to take someone with me, with all the stuff here in the newspaper currently.  We had a para-pro (male) arrested for child pornography and molestation.  
Anyhow, I continue to feel for this person a sadness at the choices they are making and where it is taking them in their life.

On a good note, we will travel to  Yakima this weekend, and see Cliff & Vi, and also go to the temple.  I know that will help with my sadness. And it will make me happy.
