We typically send the older boys to another home in the area because there is so many more problems when you have both teenage boys and girls living together. The home we had been using could not take one boy so we sent him to live at temple in a neighboring city (this is a common practice here) that two knowlegeable people recommended.
The boy was at the home for a week before 4 monks came into his room and began beating him. He was saved by another monk but not before he was badly beaten. Four hours ago they completed the surgery to remove his spleen and stop the internal bleeding. We have gotten the police and the head of monks in Thailand involved. Either way, pretty tough stuff.

Not actions you would expect from a "monk". I'm picturing buddhists in orange robes who would harm no living thing. I'd be curious to learn more about these so-called monks.
Interesting stories Steve & Sandy. I enjoy the insights...even when their sad or maddening.
