A New Bedford mother decided to use the power of social media to find new friends for her seven-year-old son after moving to a new area, and my heart aches for him. I moved a lot as a child, and I know what it feels like to be the new kid in town. Keith deserves to know that he’s not alone.
Amber Alexander and her family moved from Wareham to New Bedford back in March. Alexander decided to keep her son, Keith, in the Wareham school system for the time being, which has presented some positives and negatives. It provided a sense of normalcy for Keith, but it has created obstacles when it comes to making new friends in the neighborhood.
