Yeah, he's only 13. Jero took an entire year off of work and school to homeschool the kid because he took a knife to school and got caught. Greg does nothing for him but yell and degrade him.

Unfortunately, child services is a system that I don't trust. I have heard too many horror stories and I'm not willing to put the kid through that. What pisses me off the most, I think, is that Jero has family (like an older, married brother) who could care less about the whole thing. 

Once Jero and I can get a hold of our own lives, we've talked about taking Ethan in. But that's if we can get everything together in time to do that.
