Elian was helping his mother at a restaurant during the summertime and his mother paid him when he would go with her to her job. His mother wanted to teach him a great work ethic and Elian really wanted to save enough money for a playstation 4. Unfortunately once DCPP became involved his mother had to utilize the money that they had saved in order to make ends meet. Elain has shown signs of sadness and is withdrawn after being placed in 2 resource homes in a very short time. Elian wishes that he could still get that playstation 4.
