That one lawyer is single handedly trying to defend the entire youth population from the system. He must be protected at all costs.

I really like morris's lawyer . You can tell he really cares . The world needs more like him .

I wasn’t as young as Morris, about about 10 years ago I went away to an residential facility. After 90 days I realized what a mess I used to be, and how many positive changes I made I decided to stay for another 90 days. It changed my life for the better, and helped make me the woman I am today.

Morris is trying so hard to get his life back on track, in a positive direction: I'm so proud of him; Handshake for Success!

This poor lawyer looks heartbroken. Bless him.

I really liked the lawyer as well because he was very concerning and loving towards the young man and his family.
-
I want to hug this young man. He does appear to suffer from depression and his influences aren't helping him. The lawyer seems to really care for his clients. I pray Jesus heals this young man and pulls him out of where he is right now.

He depressed and the depression can be seen in his face

“Say goodbye to your parents” ouch, what a moment

Looking at what happened after that court date it makes me so sad. They have to want to change and help themselves. Everyone knows that. What a terrible loss for himself and his parents that he can't be reached. So very 😢

To treat a person you don't put them into an environment were it supports unhealthy behavior. It's life sending a alcoholic to a beer factory, or a drug addict to run a pharmacy.
-
I remember going through all this the worst feeling I’d ever go through
-
"Always willing". What a decent parent should say
-
Incredible but very real. His mother understood morriss situation, n to admit that he placement was suitable is brutallt honest
-
