I have contacted a social worker in a nearby county who is a friend of a friend. One issue right now is that the boy and his mother are in the process of moving. She hasn't found a house to rent yet. I am going to try to keep in touch with him if he leaves here before he knows where he is going to be living. These cases are handled on a county by county basis. The social worker will help me get to the right person once we know what county he ends up in.
