There is a young boy, he will be 18 late Jan. He has had a rough life. And needs your prayers.
At the age of two he was taken from his mother's arms. His grandmother grabbing him and casting his stuffed animal to the ground.
His dad didn't want him but the controlling, very wealthy and powerful grandmother in the community wanted the dad, her son, to have him. So she went about to make it happen.
The boys dad and step mother were very abusive. Kicking him when in a corner, putting the hottest sauce in his mouth. His dad telling him he hated him, saying he could break his arm and no one could prove it was him, locking him out of the house and more.
I saw one time the fear in this boys face when his dad came to pick him up. He walked around the vehicles many times before getting into it with his dad.
The sad part is the family has such money and power no one can go up against them. I should say it hasn't worked as yet.
He ran away to live with his mother. His mother still paying child support and a couple of times when she was going to use her tax returns it went to the dad for back child support. She was going to use it to get a home for her and the kids. She spent time in jail because the dad didn't get his child support-he turned her in.
The boy got into some trouble. He took a guitar from his girlfriends house and took stuff from his dad's house that his dad wouldn't let him have.
He has been in juvenile lock up for 3 1/2 years. He went to a 1/2 way house and got a job and they said he owed them $700.00 and rent etc. So he was working and paying it off.
Then they came to him, I don't know the reason, and said he would not be let go until he was 25. He ran away. When locked up he did somethings, not violent, and was put in solitary for weeks at a time.
He ran off to another State to care for and be with his great-grandfather and have a safe place to live. He was stopped by a police officer due to his lights were not on and they had to run a check. They found out he was wanted in another State.
This State can only hold him for 10 days. But the State who wants him says they will come and get him. The State he is in can hardly believe what he is charged with, a minor burglary and they are making such a fuss over it.
Bottom line his grandmother is in with his p.o. and she is calling the shots. So, the State he is in doesn't want to give him up. Said he's paid his time for the crime and he has registered for college here and has a home with his great-grandfather.
So, the States are fighting for him. He goes to court this Wed. 12.8. Please be praying for this child. He is a good child and enough is enough. I don't know how much more he can take. They treat animals in the State that wants him better than they have treated him. It seems like it's about money and power to me.
Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. So as we hold him up to the Lord, to the Throne of grace together and believe evil will not prevail. Let my people go!!! Pray the Judge will have mercy and compassion.
The State he is in wants to keep him. Sees he is a good person who just wants to go to college, play football and be with his family who loves him.
Come Lord, intervene, be glorified in this situation for this young boy. Amen and Amen!!
Thank you all who will be praying. God abundantly bless you.
