One more victim of our uncaring society....

(Conrgratulations on the new thread, Laz). I bring this to the thread's attention, with the hope that some of the more compassionate among you might take an interest (can we say donations?) in this heart-wrenching instance of victimization:

Frostbitten fugitive threatens lawsuit

A convicted sex offender, who is wanted in Florida and who fled into the Maine
woods when approached by a detective, is complaining that he lost a few toes to
frostbite because police were slow in arresting him. Harvey Taylor, 48, spent at
least three nights lost in the woods in Mattawamkeag after running from a
Penobscot County sheriff's detective a few weeks ago. Taylor now threatens a
lawsuit. ''If the detective had done his job, I wouldn't be in here now,'' Taylor told
the Bangor Daily News Tuesday from his room at St. Joseph Hospital. Taylor said
he has had ''two or three'' toes amputated on his left foot due to frostbite. Chief
Deputy Glenn Ross of the sheriff's office said Taylor is wanted in Brevard County,
Fla., for probation violations linked to his convictions for sexual offenses involving a
child. (AP)
