Just pray for him. Do you believe in God? He answers prayer, I know.
He is probably lonely and has low self esteem due to the abuse he endured from his dad. Emotional scars can last forever. Just keep trying to befriend him and show him you really care and are not there to judge him.
Depression can be fatal if not treated. Is he taking medication? Consider talking to mom and see how you both help him get to a doctor. Sounds tough. Good luck. I'm glad you care enough to ask.
