Rude Boy Mocks Girl from Shelter, Finds Himself on Bed Next to Hers a Week Later – Karma Story
Angelo was always a mean child who bullied kids at his school. Soon, abandonment led him on a difficult path to redemption, thanks to a young girl who taught him to be humble.
Growing up in a poor neighborhood made Angelo rough around the edges. He only knew how to fight his way out of trouble and was often aggressive with his classmates. At home, his mother, Pam, was cruel to him and never showed him warmth. She would often scream at him, saying, “You’re just like your father!”
When he was a toddler, Angelo’s father left him and his mother to fend for themselves. Angelo grew up hating him. His mother often struggled to hold down jobs and eventually gave up working altogether. Pam would regularly find new boyfriends, and Angelo hated all of them.
Pam began dating a man named Jeffrey, who treated Angelo quite poorly. Angelo would prefer to spend time getting into trouble in the neighborhood.

Despite her hardship, she was always kind, and her teachers did what they could to help her. A week later, Angelo returned from school and put down his bags. He heard Jeffrey call for him from the kitchen and reluctantly went to speak to him. He found Pam and Jeffrey both waiting for him and noticed that she had a bag packed.
“Listen, Angelo. I can’t afford this place anymore, so I’m gonna go live with Jeffrey. I arranged for the city to pay for you to go to school from now on,” Pam told him. “But I don’t wanna live with Jeffrey. Isn’t there somewhere I could go?” Angelo pleaded. Pam looked to the ground and sighed.

“Look, kid, there isn’t space at my place anyway. You’re gonna have to go and live in the shelter. I can’t afford you,” Jeffrey said sternly. Angelo couldn’t believe it. He packed up his clothes while wiping tears from his face. For the second time, he was abandoned, first by his dad and now by his mom.
When he was dropped off at the shelter, he saw a familiar face. Daisy was there with...
