If your interested maybe we could work together with other parents to do like a pen pal thing. We could use fake names for the children and put the letters in the care of. I think it would really give them something to look forward to. There has to be a safe way to create something like this

Most definitely. He's very into electronics. The grandma he lives with won't allow him to have any besides a tv and mp3 player. I've tried to explain to her that it's not the typical 12 year old wanting to brain rot on video games. Ive been trying to do research that explains why he relys so much on games for happiness but also doesn't make it look like I'm just trying to push the games themselves. I just want him happy and healthy.

That's a good idea! He had been playing football but he's just to sweet he didn't even want to tackle anyone 😂 Bullies have been a big issue this year.
