My brother was one of those kids. (We adopted him when he was seven. He weighed 35 pounds.)

The saddest part? No one in my family has seen him in 7 years. He told us all to get lost and high-tailed it for parts unknown when he turned 18, after his last brush with the law.

But he's got a high-school education, and he's probably still alive at the age of 25. As little consolation as that is, it might still be more than those kids in the pipe ever get.
