So what did he do?

Well, he called in some backup.

Now, like I mentioned earlier, he had a very close relationship with his mom's dad, so his grandfather, John.

This guy was basically like the patriarch of the entire family.

Now, John himself had four daughters, and they all had their own kids.

So it wasn't like Nathan was the only grandchild or the only person he could focus on or anything like that.

But there was definitely a soft spot in his heart for Nathan.

Between his dad pretty much abandoning him and also knowing that Nathan had been bullied almost his entire life, plus the fact that he was the first male grandchild, their bond was just a little bit different.

And everybody knew it.

So when Nathan talked to John, pleading his case and begging for help, John agreed against Linda's wishes.

And specifically what he did was he bought Nathan an RV.

Then this RV was just parked right outside of Linda's house.

And he did this so that Nathan could feel like he had some sort of freedom, like he lived alone, even though he was technically still on his mom's property.

And eventually, his mom, Linda, came around to the idea.

But Nathan's behavior only continued to get worse.

Now, keep in mind, he was still in high school at this point, which what exactly was going on at school is sort of up in the air.

One source stated that, quote, while Nathan's issues were initially deemed to be owing to his autism, his behavior in school didn't matter.

any of his symptoms.

So I don't know, I'm assuming that he definitely was acting out, but that it couldn't totally be attributed to his diagnosis.

But whatever was going on got so bad that he was actually taken out of school.
