Often in life one bad thing begets a string of others.  That is why it is best to try and do the right thing every time.  Treat our fellow man with love, kindness and respect. Following is a sad story that has affected many lives.

A young man said that he was sexually assaulted as an altar boy by two Philadelphia priests and that he soon turned to drugs for relief according to the Huffington Post.

So far the policeman’s son has been in and out of rehab 23 times trying to battle his addictions to heroin, painkillers and other drugs.  He started smoking marijuana at age 11.

The 23-year-old testified that parish priest Edward Avery twice raped him after Mass in 1999, when he was a 10-year-old altar boy.

He also had been raped by his fifth-grade teacher from the parish school.

The next part is sick skip if lighthearted

The priest was a freaky dude, making Avery put on church music and do a striptease in a small anteroom inside St. Jerome's Church in northeast Philadelphia in 1999, then engaged in mutual oral sex and masturbation. He said he once had to use his shirt to wipe the priest's semen off of him before walking home.

He said his 14-year-old brother – who did not know about the alleged abuse – introduced him to marijuana and alcohol at a party that summer. He got high nearly every day for 10 years.

There is a lot of sickness and negativity out there.  Drugs and alcohol are the scourge of society.  Mandatory Pennsylvania drug classes might be a possible and partial solution.
