This has nothing to do with football. Just a kid that needs help. We have a 7 year old boy that attends my church. He witnessed his father kill his mother and commit suicide at age 3. He has a lot of demons I guess you could say. He had to be removed from school due to violent behavior and no respect for authority. Is now making suicidal and homicidal comments around his 70 something year old great grandma who is his only parental figure. We are trying to find him a boys home or something like that where he can go and try to get help. He's not Indian so have struck out on their boys homes. Does anyone know of any places that could help?

Is this the place Northwest of Amarillo? If so, some great people that work out there that will work with kids and help them on their path. My assistant wrestling coach used to work out there. Also worked at Cactus back in the day Hitcher.

Thunderbird is a bit different. Used to have a few companies of court ordered attendies. I think that part was shut down. Now its purely a military school, if my memory serves me right.

I believe this boy would be much too young for Thunderbird.
