This story, about 14-year old David Fortin who went missing a year ago, breaks my heart. Even more so, because the parents brush off a Hannah Montana song on his ipod as something he downloaded "for his sister." It's not my place to speculate if he was or wasn't gay, but it's the plainly ignored truth of situations like these that cause people to run away in the first place...

When his peers moved on from children’s cartoons to motocross and dating, David remained fascinated by the magical world of Walt Disney. “He was happy being in his little bubble,” Maxime says...“He was able to camouflage his sadness, his emotions, all of the unhappiness he was living through,” Maxime says. “He knew how to conceal the horror he was living through behind a smiling face.”
