I saw a documentary on the Chernobyl disaseter in the Ukraine not so long ago. Children in the area have been affected with all types of illnesses (many cancers) and deformations.  There was one child in particular they interviewed for the documentary that I just can't forget. \n\nHe was a bright child, with leg deformations. All he and the other little boys and girls do in the orphanage is "exist". They used to have a television, but it broke and they now have nothing to occupy themselves with. They are really bored.  No one is stimulating their minds, and he begged the interviewer if she could provide them with a television or a radio.
