In the beginning of September, the first caregiver grew "suspicious of [Menchaca's] behavior' and followed him home from where she dropped him off.

Menchaca辩称自己确实有特殊护理需求，并补充说自己只是想跟父母一起找人帮忙。

"I just want to let you know I am special needs,' Menchaca said. "I do have a low IQ level. And … my mum and dad both have paperwork to prove that. And I'm starting to talk to my dad about getting me some help and getting me into a counselor and probably like a rehab center to talk to somebody."

“我想让大家知道我确实需要特别护理，我智商不是很高，父母有文件可以证明这一点。而且我已经跟我爸聊过，希望能得到一些辅导，就像在康复中心有人会跟你聊天一样。”
