I took in my neighbors’ kid in June. His parents physically and emotionally abused him. They told me I can keep him after he ran away to me, they don’t want him, don’t give a fuck about him. Didn’t plan on becoming a dad, but life happens.
Holy shit, that's awesome man! Many would've just given the kid over to "the system" and it would've sucked for him. I've taken my nephew in, because his home was a mess. He's back with his mom now, but still comes here one weekend each month. It's the best thing in the world and I'm thinking about taking in other kids too, when my own kids are a bit older.
