CrimsonSoul:
Your pain and concern for this child is palpable. Everyone here has provided
some good opinions for this lad's improvement while under your roof.

My 2 cents would be to include this boy in so many activities of all kinds that
he will have no free time with which to get into mischief. It will involve him with
other people who take pleasure in the good things of life. Shooting should probably
be avoided until he is on a clear-cut path to responsibility in other areas.

My son was ADHD-diagnosed early and is now an ADHD adult. He and I spent a lot
of time together, but I think I lost him to bad behavior during all the times his mother
kept changing her geography. Far enough from me that I could not see him on a regular
basis.

My son was the one I detailed in an earlier thread, about 6/6/09, who disarmed the AK-47
robber. His mother (my ex) and I agonized over whether to provide him with a shotgun,
due to his impulsive nature at times.

But we eventually concluded that we would equip him with her Remington 870 just in case
the AK guy came back for revenge. Talk about a nail-biter!!

I pray that you and Mrs. CrimsonSoul can have a life-changing effect on this boy.
