[The following is a comment which I posted in response to a recent story at Syracuse.com. The link to the story is here: http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2017/08/maggots_ny_group_home_rome_steven_wenger.html and my comment is below. Warning: the subject matter of the news article is gross and the descriptions graphic.]

Many years ago, my wife cared for young Steven when he was a patient in a local hospital.

She often remarked on what a staunch advocate Walter Wenger was for his son. I think she appreciated that, especially, because she considered patient advocacy to be such an important part of her own role as a nurse.

Sadly, ironically, she passed away earlier this year, the probable victim of sub-standard care at a local nursing facility.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Steven and his dad and to all those who find themselves in the care, and at the mercy, of others...
