...hopeless. X rays of the boy's skull taken from the front show a perfectly circular entrance above the bridge of the nose. From the side, an X ray exposes an identical round shape resting against the back of the skull. The rubber bullet passed through the boy's forehead and brain. It smashed against the back of his skull, fracturing it, before coming to rest. At the morgue, Wael's X rays lie in a manila envelope, one of a pile, certifying the dead of the Aqsa intifadeh.

One of his foster mothers, he says, threw a knife at him, cutting his forehead, then forcing him to say he had molested another kid. "Because of foster care," he says, "I didn't really grow up anywhere." Now he's an adult, and for the first time he's facing the prospect of living on his own--a situation for which the system has never quite prepared...
