What about one of those mobility chairs? Couldn't he ride one of those?? Is the moped the only means of transportation he's got?? Can he not walk?

It is sad - I wish there was a way for this 'boy' to get out and enjoy his friends and neighbors without being bothered by things he may not fully comprehend.

It is true that it is partly the church's responsibility to offer help for people who are in need, such as this. BUT it's each individual's responsibility as well and the government is made up of individuals. Refusing help from the government while waiting for some church to step up isn't the way to do it. Also the sister-in-law seemed to be complaining that no church offered a program to help. Is she helpless?? She could join a church, if she hasn't already, take the inititive to start a program and recruit help from the church.

Yes he needs help. Letting him ride his moped without a liscence isn't the only way. Why couldn't he GET a liscence?? If he knows enough to start and drive his moped then why couldn't he take the test with reading assistence?? If he can't then he's taking a chance of getting hurt or causing someone else to get hurt. Not the answer.
