What if instead of becoming a lawyer, Matt decided to become a social worker to help other kids like him. And Foggy is still a lawyer, but now he's working as a children's advocate for the kids Matt tries to help. And Claire is the nurse that's responsible for doing the medical checkups and stuff. And Karen is the awesome secretary who keeps everything running. (or maybe she's a kid they're trying to help)
And Matt is still Daredevil, because doesn't that initial trigger incident, with the guy abusing his daughter, and social services not being able to do anything, sound like it would have even more of an effect on socialworkerMatt.
And maybe Fisk is a politician trying to cut funding to social services in order to give tax breaks to the rich, or he's still a criminal and he's invlved in human trafficking and Matt has to deal with the kids rescued from him, or if you want things to be more fuzzy and fixit, he's still a kid in this one and Matt and Foggy are able to rescue him before he kills his father, and he gets therapy, and makes new friends called Wesley and Vanessa at school and they all live happily ever after.
And Matt does his best but social services are majorly underfunded, and its really hard to get people to come forward in abuse cases, and so Matt ha a lot of anger that he has to keep bottled up at work for fear of scaring the kids, and so he's even more brutal when he goes out at night. (cause I personally reckon that in canon Matt is able to cool off some of the rage by taking people apart in court.)
