I know he has trouble with his dad at home and I do think he has emotional problems. I have probably not been as "strict" with his behavior as I need to be. Instead, I've tried talking with him to see what is going on. Today, I finally took away recess, but it did not seem to help. When I spoke with him, he said, "I like having you as my teacher. I like your class because it's really fun and you are nice. I know why I'm in trouble- I was talking when I wasn't supposed to."
But, then, the behavior continued after our talk.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Or, you could just say, "Folks, I need everybody's attention right now," wait for him to stop talking to his neighbor/s, then continue.
If he continues, address him directly: "Tom, could you please keep your eyes and ears on me right now? Thanks."
