Save the world one child at a time

I have been spending a fair amount of time working individually with some of the kids at the adolescent home. There is one in particular that seems to look forward to my visits; I will refer to him as Tigger. Tigger is really angry and his mom is apparently suffering from some psychological issues. He is prone to fits of rage and has a particular lack of respect for woman. Tigger seems to enjoy hanging out with me and we play a lot of basketball, racquetball and foosball. We laugh and have a good time but he has yet to open up emotionally. I am going to try to get him out of the home for a trip to the beach or something to see if he will talk with me.
