Lets say, you have a friend (who smokes major weed, all day) anyway, your friend has a little brother who has gotten into trouble and was previously involved with drugs.Due to his (the brother) actions he was sent off to "juvenile programs" to better himself in this and out of state.Well, the mom finally said okay none of this crap has worked for this kid, now, I think he should stay with his brother (the major weed smoker).Yeah, like thats any better=).I feel it's necessary if this kid is here to better himself, it's probably best if he gets away from that house as much as possibly because of the influences around him. This is none of my business and I don't feel it's my problem, but, I was there once and I can't help and care a little. This kid likes to hang around me and I took the kid to church, he liked it, he asked if I could pick him up for bible studies on wensdays as well.My question is Am I sticking my nose where it doesn't belong?

Offering to take him with you to bible studies is a good idea, though. I hope that turns in to him being able to make better decisions for himself. You can try to be a mentor to this kid, which would be a very christian thing to do.
The kid really should be subtracted from the drugs. That environment is probably only going to deteriorate, and probably end with him being stuck in juvie again. It sounds like the mother has abdicated responsibility.

I think you nose is already in it ! But in a good way.
You are obviously concerned for this kid, and if you can be a good influence in his life , go for it!
He may be in alot of pain, due to his family circumstance, and although your observations are correct , don't talk down on his family, let him observe for himself.
Church may be just what he needs some spiritual guidance, and a totally different set of role models, than what he is used to. Pick him up on wed. for as long as he seems interested, and help him make Friends his age in church that could positively affect him, he may feel like this , Temporary family is exactly what he needs.
Kudos to you for caring!!!!!!!!!!!

My opinion on this is that you only do what's best for the kid. I mean, how could Bible studies be a bad thing. Actually, I think it is better to have Bible studies than to smoke. If someone actually interferes, tell them that you pose no harm.
