:( what kind of parents would allow that if I couldn't afford to pay the damn loan the kid would've been sent to live with family elsewhere before it was past due.
 
he has been rescued thankfully Im going to keep searching for info on him as time goes on
I just really hope he isn't returned to the parents that sold him
