This little boy has been traumatized in ways we may never know. The grandmother alluded to this in her latest interview, but he really needs boundaries, structure and love. I only hope and pray that he gets the help he needs and the male role modeling he so richly deserves.

The things that I didn't think would be cute at 10 weren't cute at 4. I have a cousin whose son has called her by her first name, he wears his clothes baggy, has jewelry and can sing the latest songs. You know more than likely he's going to be a problem. She laughs at most of his antics but then when others are around tries to discipline him and gets mad. She sends mixed signals and she's the reason he is a handful. Id never say a boy doesn't need a father (or man) in his life but if this kid had a mother who was around things might not be as bad. A lot of these kids not only don't have a father, but that don't have mothers either (even if she is in the home).
