For better or worse, young Michael repressed all memory of what had occurred and could not help police in their investigation. Six months into Michael's stay, his foster father was found dead in his home, a victim of a violent attack: killed by Aldo, where he rescued Michael. Michael was placed with an abusive foster father in the Pershing section of Chicago who routinely locked Michael and his other charges in a small storage shed. One such instance occurred when Lincoln did a six-month sentence stretch in juvenile hall on an assault charge when Michael was 11. Though they were usually kept together, there were periods when circumstances required them to be placed separately. Afterward, Michael and Lincoln both traveled in and out of different foster home situations.

After his father, Aldo Burrows, deserted the family before his birth, Michael took up his mother's maiden name as his surname to start a new life because she told him that his father was an alcoholic and drug user (which was later proved untrue).
