The problem is, we know why Tyrone never learned to read: he has a single mother who doesn't give a fuck about him. But even speaking of that particular plague is modern day blasphemy and will get you excommunicated or worse.
If a child has zero support at home, there is anything anyone can do to help him short of forced rehoming, and I doubt anyone here wants to open that box. The parent is the foundation upon which a child grows. Without it, you can give him all the taxpayer money and legs up in the world and he's still going to wither on the vine 99% of the time.
If there is a solution, it won't apply to anyone currently alive. They are ruined forever, and lucky us, we get to live with and subsidize them.

And a peer group that reveres criminals while it sneers at education.
Might help if we actually had male role models in the schools for boys like that...
