There is this very sheltered kid who lives in my neighborhood. From what my wife (45) and I (41) know his singe mother doesn’t let him go out and about very much so the furthest he would stay is within the block or two. She restricts all his content and he probably doesn’t have any friends outside of the house. I also found out recently he already graduated highschool eventhough he looks like he hasn’t finished yet.
He is a very good kid though. Since he only hangs around the block he usually lends a hand without asking or talking much especially to the few old folks here. We moved to this neighborhood not too long ago and when I was extending my fence, he came out of no where, picked up the hammer and started driving in nails where I wanted them without saying a word. Wierd kid but he’s a good kid. Some neighbors told me it became a neighborhood custom to tip him if he helped since we heard his mother refused to let him find a job.
