Just when you think you've heard it all

The horror story that is the New Jersey foster care and adoption system has just taken a horrifying turn for the worse.

Warning: I have to admit I was furious after reading it. It's definitely not for the easily offended or incensed. However, what strikes me as so bizarre in this case is the absolute disparity going on--the boys are treated as fifth-class vermin, the girls--relatively speaking--as little princesses. It makes you wonder what astonishing cruelty mankind is capable of.
