It so...Susan, that's exactly the thought I had. It sounded like something on COPS except with the element of pathos. If you could have heard the kid....he sounded so wondering. I told the woman who works in the PD how bad I had felt and she said, "Don't feel sorry for them." Then I told her about what I'd overheard, and she said, "Oh. Yeah. Him, you can feel sorry for. For some of these kids, it's just a rotten home life."<br />I can't stop thinking about how that kid was living his young life trying to figure out what labels fit him, especially now that I get the picture of his "rotten home life."<br />And now he has a new one to apply to himself.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710135137635433217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-27532069585751627162010-04-28T21:25:10.688-04:002010-04-28T21:25:10.688-04:00Now it will haunt me, too, June.
