		Poor Dave had nothing left as hope, she convinced neighbours, his teachers, social workers, his younger brothers that Dave was a ’bad boy’ and asked them not to pay attention to his condition.
		Its remarkable that a child his age fought himself against simply breaking down, dissolving into tears and giving up hopes for a better existence even though he felt like frequently.
		Because a child, how much ever at fault, is dependent on you and expects, needs love and only love.
