Wednesday's Child: Tamir
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Whether he's riding his bike or playing outside, six-year-old Tamir is a ball of energy.
He even knows karate.
(Larry Kane:) "Do you know any karate moves?"
(Tamir:) "Yes."
(Larry Kane:) "Show me one."
(Tamir karate chops Larry's arm.)
(Larry Kane:) "Oh! Boy, I'll tell you, that was a tough move. Did you learn it in karate?"
(Tamir:) "Yes. And I know how to do the kicks."
(Larry Kane:) "Don't show me the kicks. You already got my wrist. You're pretty strong."
(Tamir:) "Thank you!"
His social worker, Melanie Hill, says Tamir needs a permanent family -- one that can keep up with him.
"He's very active and he would benefit from a family that's active," Hill says. "He would also benefit from two parents. He always has a sunny disposition. He always has a smile. He's very polite and pleasant to be around."
