The biological family of the emaciated 19-year-old who weighed 45 pounds when New Jersey authorities found him in a foster home now wants him back.

This is the penultimate paragraph of the New York Times story:

"'We'll make it so he never wants to leave,' said Ms. Principal's daughter Tina, 14, as she chased a puppy over a mound of trash in the living room, around two piles of dog droppings and into a three-foot heap of laundry on the kitchen floor."

What a housewarming.
