Great advice so far. Something I might add; Are there any non-JW relatives AT ALL in this young man's family he can draw closer to , like an uncle, aunt or cousins ? It would be good for your son to befriend this young guy because he's going to need ALL the unconditional support he can receive. I bet you are proud of your 21 year old son for noticing this young man's plight ! You should be proud
Advice on how to proceed ?

Some practical advice is to check out AmeriCorps programs in his area. That way if his parents disown him, he can earn money to live on, credits to help pay tuition and/or student loans, and health insurance. Earnings from AmeriCorp are usually exempt from welfare and food stamp progrms, so he may be able to get some financial help from human services.
