Funny phone call!?!?!

I found myself answering my "thefamilycompass" calls today when a gentleman caught my attention.  He told me he was blind, unable to work and was looking for a free boarding school.  I asked him how old his child was and what issues he was experiencing.  He proceeded to tell me he had a 17 year old son who wouldn't attend school, was smoking marijuana, and staying out all night.  After a few minutes of me explaining that the schools we worked with were private and had no state funding, he then  proceeded to tell me again that he was blind and needed help paying for tuition.  The very next sentence out of his mouth was this  "I'm reading right here on your  "thefamilycompass"  site the EXACT issues I'm having with my son...."  any my listening stopped there...  he was reading right down our bulleted list ...  "family conflict" ... "blatant disregard of rules" ... "withdrawn from family" ...  and continues right on down ...  Anyone see a problem with this???  He had either had a MIRACULOUS recovery OR I guess computer screens have come along ways!!  They now have a braille feature.  (:
