PBS Frontline "Country Boys"
Anyone else see this? I recently got it on dvd. Should be required viewing for all in congress. You can view it online at
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/countryboys/

I found an update on Cody. I'm curious what became of Chris.

1. Yes, I watched it on TV.
The more I watch Frontline the more respect I have for this news show. If I recall Chris was the boy who had the best shot to move forward. Cody seemed to have less support and direction.
I found the whole thing very sad but it was touched with some optimism at, least for Chris.

2. Yeah. I don't watch tv, but I've been getting some of the frontline
specials from netflix.

Actually, Cody was the one with the stepgrandmother who was looking out for him. I found a more recent update his was in community college learning HVAC repair and his wife (gf in the show) was working in a bank. I felt really bad for Chris's little sister. He was at least old enough to take care of himself.
