Wednesday's Child: Israel
By Larry Kane
Produced by Timothy McLaughlin
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- For nine-year-old Israel, life is all about games. He enjoys sports such as wrestling and football, and likes to play video games.
"I like to play Mario Kart, I like to play racing games, super hero games," Israel says.
And along with his need for speed, he's a car fanatic.
"If I can't afford a Corvette, I'll go with a Camaro. If I can't afford a Camaro, I'll save enough money to buy me a good, good, good Lamborghini," this nine-year-old muses.
While he may have an expensive taste in cars, his social worker, Desmond McDermott, says Israel just needs one thing from a permanent family: a lot of love.
"He will bring excitement," McDermott says with a laugh. "You see how engaging he is right now? That's him, all the way around. There will be challenges, but overall he'll make any family happy."
