Where is the HOPE?

Where is the hope? Where is the hope for a 5 year old boy who has been sexually abused his whole life. Who was sexually abused by his parents and then placed in foster care where in turn was sexually abused there too...Where is the hope for him?
Where is the hope for a young man who has been in the "system" so long he cant remember when it all started. Where is the hope for this young man who only knows violence as a means of dealing with every situation. Who's commonly used phrase is "I hate your life" and "Go kill yourself." But he is so smart-too smart for his own good...But who the heck cares?
Where's the hope for a boy who faces so many disabilities he doesn't even know how to cope. He was given anti-depressants and bi-polar meds at the age of ONE...in turn damaged his brain and is now legally mentally handicapped. Where's the hope for him? Who can't communicate very well however when he gets mad, he curses like a grown man-speaking clear and precise. But who cares?
Where's the hope for a young man who has been physically abused and severely neglected his whole life. Who, when in an evaluation said "looked like an animal" by his actions-grabbing at things on the desk, putting things in his mouth, not being able to make eye contact or sit still...who was severely emaciated. Where's the hope for him?

But who cares...?
