When I was younger my mother did drugs and she went to persion for 5 years and then I lived with my godmother after she went for about 4 yrs and she also did drugs. I know how that lil boy feels and I have always wanted to help kid that went though the same crap I did. I am telling you no that child needs help and if you can take him do it …Help him! And as far as his mother changing not to be mean but my mother did drugs (meth) and drugs are so powerful its hard to stop and she my stop for a lil but it take a drastic change in someones life to make them stop it …it took my mother 5 yrs in perison to not do it again it has been about 6 or 7 yrs that she has been out and she hasn’t done it … But she said herself that if it wasn’t for her going to jail she would of never stoped. When you are doing drugs nothing else matter but the next high. I know she love her son and I no she wants to change deep down inside….no one want to be like that ..you know! When I was little I wish someone would of spoke up and helped me I even tried myself to get help and know one believed me cuz I was a kid and no one ever believes a child over an adult. He need you help and if there is a family member that will take him that love him and care for him the way he should be cared for that where he should go and if his father is doing it to do what ever you can to not let that happen. Also try to keep in out of fastercare that will just make thing even worse for his life. But he defantly need you to be his voice! That is awsome of you to do this for him!
