I'm sure he will and he should be very grateful you came to his rescue... As one thing you will notice the horror stories have in common are being penniless and not having family backup. Best of luck.
Agent_Smith, there are times when i think the law in thailand is far fairer than it is the states and that is not a complement to thailand. Its when you see how the government is given an inch by things like three strikes and megan's law and then take a mile or two that you see why americans are so paranoid of their own government. Dispite, what one prosecutor has said defending his attempts to have a 12 and 13 year old couple put on the megan's list for life, I don't think that law was created to stop under aged children having sex with each other.
