“Maybe when he can support them? He was working and learning a trade but the media got that stopped fast.”
From what I read here on FR, he does not have a high school diploma, and he needed it for that particular job.
Apparently he has a learning disability and didn’t finish high school (according to the article).
As for any learning disability , not all young men are cut out for public cookie cutter academic programs. It was reported that he did a good first job and was also doing well in training.
