Nick related to all this was their concern Noel coming home to his old neighborhood would have been risky? Or did people think that would be a good thing
from what I recall he had some hangers on from his youth that were poor influences.  So that certainly could have been made worse with him at home, but those hangers on were with him in his other stops, so I don't know if it would have been worse.  Perhaps being at home would have provided him more of the positive influences he needed.  Or maybe he would have felt more "at home" so to speak and thus less nervous and anxious and maybe that would have worked out well.  So maybe he goes down the Aaron Hernandez path where being at home is a disaster or maybe he goes the other way.  That is one of those things you just don't know how it will go.
