Heartbreaking

This is the so sad and appalling:
Miguel Padilla, mistreated and abandoned, killed himself at 17.

"Miguel Padilla ran away from a licensed group home in April 2008, but he didn't go far.

Unknown to anyone at the time, the 17-year-old amputee made his way to a stand of trees near the main driveway. Using his one arm, he climbed into the branches, tied a makeshift noose to a limb and hanged himself.

Nine days passed before a staffer found his body"
