When we were all kids in the early 1950's of about 8-9 yrs old, a neighborhood kid shot and killed his younger brother. Total accident but Kenny was never right again. As we all grew up Kenny became more and more despondent. His parents divorced He was drinking heavily by age 15, before the rest of us knew anything about drugs Kenny was deep into them. He got caught with drugs and was sent to prison. In 1962 Kenny hung himself in his prison cell.

I thought about Kenny when I read about the 5 y/o in Kentucky who shot his younger sister. I cried myself to sleep for him and Kenny for the next few nights. I hope he gets better treatment than Kenny and I hope I can stop crying.
