Oh, Peter, that is so sad and so true. It happens here on the Rez, too. My daughter is good friends with one young man, in particular, who tells horror stories of the ravages of poverty, alcohol, and abuse at the hands of authorities.

And, here I was going to gloat about my own son, Colin, turning 30 years old on this day. Hard not to feel some guilt over that blessing.

thanks,
