I actually didn't know some of these things about him. I have witnessed the things he went through. One time I walked over to his foster home to see if he wanted to hang out but before he could leave he was told he had to take about two dozen 1 gallon full water jugs down to the basement. I asked to help him. As we were taking them down to the basement his foster parents were just sitting there in kitchen talking to their friends drinking beer. I felt that Chris didn't deserve this kind of treatment he's a good kid and a good friend. I'm glad for him that he is doing so well. I am one of Chris’s best friends.
