Regarding the gang, so we're assuming Stick's left him, he's what around 13 or 14 by this point, and he joins a gang? I could see that. I can see him trying to hide his blindness, offering to teach them parkour so they can get around better and evade the police.
Oh! Maybe he joins the Irish mob very briefly since they're in Hell's Kitchen and he is Irish. He never went after them in Daredevil Season 1, and in Daredevil Season 2 they were decimated by Frank. Except for Grotto, who maybe joined after Matt left. Did the Irish mob know his secret and just not out him unless he messed with them as Daredevil? Is that the one of the reasons he didn't?
I can see the mob using him to break into buildings for them, perhaps plant evidence or steal stuff. He's small so he can fit in places most people won't like dog doors or small bathroom windows or skylights. He's conflicted about the stealing and evidence planting, but the mobsters are nice to him, feed him, clothe him, and don't make him kill. they also insist on him getting an education so he's either homeschooled or goes to a private school.
How would he even get in with them. I'm thinking there's a scrimmage they're involved in, and the leader is about to be killed when Matt intervenes and saves him. Maybe he's hurt during the scuffle, he took a bullet for the leader, or some other thing, so they take him in and care for him.

I'd love to see someone expand on this idea.
