Hi, @justclickindiva. Thanks for writing. First, I'll just get out of the way that cell phones are given out by social services--at least they are in Minnesota. His father? He's in jail.
Right now, this boy (and his brother) live with their foster mom (where this video was recorded).
The best thing this young man has going for him is also a huge asset: his spirit and maturity. I just hope his fire stays lit. He's a good teen that can have a good life if he can endure these struggles.
