Youth workers Bill Nash and Jim Boyle are house-hunters, not so much for a house as for a concerned family willing to house and feed troubled youngsters temporarily. They try to give prompt(及时的) attention to those who cannot or will not live at home. There are numerous parents who want to find houses for their children to live in by themselves.

For some, leaving home may have been the result of a hasty decision, based on a scorching(灼热的的) remark and the subsequent tempest(风暴) within the family. The cooling-off period away from the family is the time to soothe(安抚) feelings. With sympathetic outsiders, youngsters have a chance to redeem(弥补) themselves. The hope, of course, is that they will learn to relate to adults again and quickly resume the normal life of harmony with their own families.

Some people refrain from offering their homes, expressing vague fears of the harmful effects on their own children. But this has not been the case, even when the problem of the “visitor” was the illegal use of narcotics(麻醉剂). One parent remarked, “With us, it worked the other way. The horror of drugs became real to my own son. We got a lot more than we gave.” The “visitor” really helped the family avoid the danger of becoming drug addicts.
