Finally got around to reading this, and yes to pretty much everything in the article. As soon as the news broke that was the first question I asked everyone, "Why now?"

    What will his Lost Boys do now they have outlived their usefulness? Somebody might offer them a teat to run back to, but it won’t be me. I’m done. That whining noise you can hear is a string symphony of the world’s tiniest violins. I think they’re playing Wagner.

Favorite part is the end. While the story is pretty tragic, I struggle to connect/care about their situation. Immaturity is no excuse for the serious harm they've done.
