Myths Over Miami.
Captured on South Beach, Satan later escaped. His demons and the horrible Bloody Mary are now killing people. God has fled. Avenging angels hide out in the Everglades. And other tales from children in Dade's homeless shelters.

Apologies for the DP. A search turned up nothing.

This article is several years old, and I swear it's been posted a billion times. Yes, it was interesting the first time. I WOULD like to see a follow up article.

That breaks my heart. What a different life those children lead than my two. It is amazing what they find to get them through the day.

the life of those kids sounds horrible. it is like they have to put up with the same kind of hell that a few of you do when you see a duplicate post.

thanks for the link, i hadn't seen it.

thanks for the link, new to me.

of course, the thinker in me says that children sometimes see the truth more aptly than any adult...

want the world's best art critric? honest, open, truthful? take a child to see some "avante garde" art. then ask if it's worth "x million"...

Excellent article, how much is legend, how much allegory and how much truth?

jkaczor - And no meal is complete without grape Kool Aid and green ketchup, right?

I am immensely thankful that the whole world is not beholden to the tastes of children. yet.
