Patrick being held in Child Protection Services (CPS) can lead this story to somewhere else? Or somewhere specific? I mean there might be 2 main reasons why you were taken by that institution would be:
a- You're and orphan and they take you in for protection until 18yo, or until someone comes adopting you
b- You get exposed to violence, abuse or exploitation by your family members, and you are taken under protection for some time
What was the reason behind Patrick's involvement with CPS? He said he "spent a little time there", this makes us think that he might have been involved in option B but the concept "a little time" can be argued. Such rounded expressions are used when one feels bad about something he/she experienced.
So, can we think that Patrick was adopted by Alex whereas he was actually someone else's child? Or we should think that Alex is his real father but he was so wicked that his boy could end up being in CPS after whatever happened between them? What do these 2 options give us as clues? If anyone can generate a theory in this perpective, please share. We knew about the asylum but this CPS thing is rather new and must not be empty. He could have just seen tat institution on his way to somewhere but he feels the necessity to inform us about his involvement as a reason why he knows the place already. So I think it can't be just simple like talking about hamburgers right?
