It’s not the news we were hoping to hear.
“I didn’t have a very good upbringing,” Jack said, adding, he also struggles with mental health issues. The teenager further revealed that he has autism, ADHD, and is being screened for bipolar disorder and psychosis. “I can’t stay at my grandparents’ because my granddad is terminally unwell,” the MCU actor said. He added, “I have nowhere else to go, and I need help. Social services refuses to help me despite what I have told them. I am desperate.”
Jack implied that he had been forced to live on the streets. “I am currently sleeping in a trailer that has smashed-in windows, is unsafe, is two hours away from my work, which means I struggle to get to work every day,” he said.
In a profoundly moving appeal, he conveyed that life had become exceedingly challenging and that, at present, he was devoid of any other recourse. “I am on my knees begging for you guys to just share this, do something, spread the message of how the government are treating kids,” Jack added.
He implored earnestly, “I need help. Please share, please share it with whoever you can. You don’t have to pay me anything, I don’t need anything. I just need you to make this go as viral as possible. I’ll continue to put some more stuff out, but, please, I need help.”
