Ashley Phoenix Riley - 13 - Surprises and Truth Telling


Ashley Phoenix Riley — 13
Surprises and Truth Telling

“Ashley was known as Jack. Once, Jack was following me when three boys jumped him and beat him up badly. Jack was the one charged with fighting and destroying property. Authorities asked me if I would take responsibility for Jack, because they know I have helped people coming off the streets. But I have only worked with girls. So I told them if Jack were a girl I would have been willing to be a foster parent. I didn’t expect Jack to become Ashley.”
