I have read that Nikolas and his brother were adopted at a young age in Long Island. Apparently he was a troubled child from the get-go, which is often the case with some adopted children because of the irresponsible people who create them in the first place. If the story I read is correct, his father died about ten years ago and his mother had problems handling Nikolas, unsurprisingly. She died last year and the angry, troubled 18 year old moved in with a “friend’s” family and worked at the dollar store.

Grown by many measures, yet still “expected” to go to school. A conspicuous and awkward misfit. And maybe not bright enough to fake it.
This is what Big Brothers/Sisters was about. But somehow between lefty proposals to change all society via government molds, and righty finger wagging, there might be found care once more for the world’s black sheep?
