31. Yummy: The Last Days of South Side Shorty

Haunting story of a boy led astray by a gang. It's sad depressing to know that this was inspired by true events. The odds were stacked against Robert "Yummy" Standifer. Daddy in jail and mother strung out on drugs. Raised by his grandmother who had her hands full looking after other grandkids I was okay with how the story was handled even though I'm not a big fan of sticking fictional characters in real situations but it worked out fine.
