I know a 7 year old in juvie is bad..i shouldn't have said that. He seems to think that his behavior is perfectly fine. No one taught him respect for elders; if something isn't done he'll end up in juvie for sure. Either that or a youth mental ward. With the younger generations nowadays, and some of the things we hear about.. I have family that works in the mental health field with children in a mental hospital, and some of the kids have such problems.. each case is different. It's important that someone gets through to this child before he gets older.
In the system, with him already having the problems he has, and then some of the horrors of foster parents we hear about.. Hopefully he gets help somehow.
You are right about this, Meow. I also like the idea of homeschooling and getting him away from bad influences, but I'm sure his guardians look at school as the only break they get!
