4 foot 6 inches and only 68 pounds and by the time he was 11, most of the people in his life failed him miserably. His body was already beaten and scarred a reflection of the hardship that he endured. This is a tragic story and I recall Denzel Washington discussing the failure in the home. The system is also responsible for the creation of little “Yummy’s”, but I agree with you George, the home is where it starts. Great article.
