Maybe it's just me but after awhile the "poor me" attitude starts to wear on me. Yes, I understand he had a horrible mother that did unimaginable things. But even in foster care nothing was ever Davids fault. For example David was stealing toys from a store. He went in to steal a toy for another boy, only to find out afterwards he was set up, the other boy's father was a manager at the store. So we were all suppose to feel bad for David that the boy set him up like that. What about David being a grown up now realizing he was stealing & admitting it was wrong? He always had an excuse for doing something wrong, it's never his fault. And I just get the impression as an adult David still feels this way.

Harrowing yet inspiring. Amazing that this child survived the extreme abuse from his mother and then all the setbacks of a fostered life.
