Bryant

  
by KYW's Larry Kane
Produced by Jim Melwert
 
Eleven-year-old Bryant is a straight-A student, and he's mindful of his responsibilities:
 
(Kane:)  "So tell me, it's Saturday morning, no school. You wake up, what do you want to do?"

(Bryant:)  "First, I have to do my chores.  I have to dust off the downstairs, then I have to do the bathroom downstairs, then I have to vacuum."

 
Bryant has a wonderful smile and it won't be long before he's melting hearts:
 
(Bryant:)  "There's one girl I like, but she didn't tell me that yet."

(Kane:)  "So you have to sort of wait on that, right?

(Bryant:)  "Yup."

(Kane:)  "That's always an issue you know. Have you told her anything?"

(Bryant:)  "No."

(Kane:)  "A little nervous about that?"
   
(Bryant:)  "Yeah."

(Kane:)  "I can see that."
 
His family recruiter, Tamara Reddick, says Bryant needs a permanent family as soon as possible so he can get the answers kids need as they grow up:
 
"If he's not comfortable enough to discuss those things, then he may do something that's inappropriate because he doesn't know.  Or he may ask the wrong person.  If we could find a home for him now and he could feel comfortable and loved, he could ask all the questions that he needs to get out, and he would grow up and be a nice loving, young man like he is now."
