I am so angry, and I'm not sure at who, about that boy. I think the system let him down, as it does so many. My coworker thinks his mother should have bent over backwards to care for her kids, or given them up to someone who would.
I don't even know what to think. It just makes me angry and sad. And it makes me think. Hopefully the redeeming factor of this article will be getting folks to think. I don't know.
The article was a bit vague on what the kid died of. If he weighed 330 lbs, it wasn't starvation. Dehydration? Seizure? Bashing his head against the keyboard? Seems fishy, lacking in any detail.
