I think they missed an opportunity here to get Aaron to take the lad under his wing and teach him a few things ... he's obviously meant to be a commentary on Aaron as a kid so it would have been nice to see Aaron take an interest in him and give him something constructive to do, just like Aaron's family did when he first came to Emmerdale. The kid obviously really likes Aaron who is not much older but has done something with his life, just like the kid wants to.
