Difficult story but hopeful ending

Having been a very protective mom, I was shocked to read that Jay Jay was smoking his parent's marijuana butts by age 10 & drinking their alcohol. He was an addict by age 12 snorting coke, using LSD, mushrooms, and alcohol. He was sent to CYA by age 12 and had no visitors. During that time he played many sports & got his GED. He was in AA by age 17 1/2. This story tore at my heartstrings because of his incredibly young age. It made me so thankful for my own upbringing and made me teary eyed. Jay Jay ends his story with hope and I pray he gets the help he needs to transition from prison to real life.
