Trust your instincts. Who knows what if anything is going on but taking the steps you are is no doubt coming from a place of caring.
I hope it all works out well for Mike and everyone involved.

She is 10, we consulted with a friend of ours who is the assistant police chief where we live, he recommended we tell the school counselor and the school security officer (who is a police liaison) we did, apparently they sent someone to the kid's house this evening to speak with his parents.
the boy's father apparently is "gone away". according to my step daughter rumor is he has been sent to "prison" or jail - whatever the case, the father is not present in the kid's life. The mother indicated to the officer that she is aware of the boy's problem and the child is already in counseling and that she will keep a closer eye on the boy.
seems we have done about as much as we can do. we are supposed to provide the drawing to the school tomorrow morning.
