Derrick is socially immature.
Derrick is also in the fourth grade. These brothers love each other yet they have a very hard time getting along with one another. Their chaotic early life has caused them to have problems interacting with one another for long periods of time. For this reason they are presently placed in separate foster homes. They visit regularly with each other and with their sister who is in still another foster home.
