It just requires work, determination, and prayer.

Perhaps he will turn out ok...but odds are against it.. First off, he will probably go from foster home to foster home...how stable is that. Secondly, prayer is good and important but does not erase the psychological abuse that has already happened. Why do I say scarred for life...because things that horrific are not forgotten. Yes, he may trump on...but I'm also realistic. He will be scarred for life. He may still have a good future but will always be scarred psychologically.
