Minor Living Alone: After Alyssa's mom disappears, she pretends for two weeks that everything is normal because she doesn't want to be separated from Ethan. She makes money for food by tutoring other kids. When the lights go out because Alyssa can't pay the electricity bills, she worries about what Ethan will do without his morning glass of cold milk. She doesn't have to worry, because the next day Ethan breaks his arm, the hospital fails to locate his mother, and Alyssa is forced to tell the truth.
