Yes, I expected him to receive compensation of some sort. It is the least the state can do for him. I rejoyce in that.
In my original post, I was thinking of all the life experiences he will never have now, all the dreams he will never realize. Some things simply cannot be bought.
I can relate to this because I was deprived of enjoying a normal life in my teen years. I was kept in a boarding school from 12 to 18 y/o. Some consequences last to this day.
