From what I remember, I think the movie started out with a little boy coming home from school with candy. He lives with his mom who struggles a lot. When the boy comes home he asks his mom to sign a permission slip and you can see she might have been dealing with bills. **fastfowarding** Now I’m not sure about this part but the mom loses it and almost hurts her son but he hides in his room and put a lock on it. The neighbors overheard the mom yelling at the boy and called the cops and she was taken away while the boy was sent to an orphanage. I think the mom got out however, she lost rights of her son. She eventually got into a car accident but didn’t die. The boy spent many years in an orphanage and around his last year of high school, a family adopted him. A mom, dad and a girl around his age(blonde). After he graduates, he visits his mom at the hospital who was in a coma for a while.

This movie probably came out in the early 2000s ish not sure I was pretty young. It was in color and I remember I watched it on youtube when most movies weren’t copyrighted there.
