My 15 year old nephew Alex, is in need of some serious prayers. He was raised without a father (he has one who ignores/resents him) and was abandoned for a couple years by his mother when he was 4. He is now 15 and is becoming steadily more angry, violent and out of control every day. My Mother and I feel that the only thing keeping him from hurting himself or others is our daily prayers for help from our Heavenly Father.
His health is also bad and we're unsure if that is what is affecting his mental state. Everything is being done for him that is possible, but he is stubborn and angry and refuses help most of the time.
Yesterday his mother patted his knee and said, "I love you." and he lost it. He was screamed at her and poked her and scared her so bad she had to stop the car and order him out of it.
I'm scared that he will wind up in jail or in an institution if it continues on this path :(
