Pretty understanding for a 16-year-old left to fend for himself.
Robert tells me he loves his mother and wants the best for her, but he understands she’s not capable of raising him.
He needs a safe, nurturing environment. Right now, that's a group home for other Jacksonville teens in the same situation.
Robert tells me he thinks he’d fit well into a family. He loves to play video games and really let loose on a trip to Adventure Landing.
While the group home has been a safe place -- Robert is ready for the next phase of his life.
He wants to take his place with a family—and says what he really wants is a dad and brothers to bond with.
“I'd like to go fishing and dirt bikes.”
