Joe the King
The difficulties of a penniless 14-year-old to put his life together are compounded by terrible abuse at the hands of his mother, even harder treatment at the hands of his father, and a growing distance from his somewhat older brother. Stealing food on a whim progresses to increasingly serious crimes until he steals a cash box from the diner where he works. Joseph gets no thanks for using the money to pay off some of his father's obligations and to replace his mother's records, which were destroyed when his father lost his temper...
