The beauty I see here is looking through the weeds to a time when children found their happiness wherever they could.On this toy I see a hint of freedom as they slide down, only briefly, a ray of sunshine in their otherwise saddened life.

IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT, WHAT WERE THE POWERS THAT BE THINKING?

I don't care what anyone says about this place, there was nothing good about what happened to those children. It is completely heartbreaking. I doubt any of those children got to play on that playground. It was probably only there to fool the outside world who thought they were helping the children.

The pictures capture a different kind of beauty. Sad is the fact that the grounds that were at one time maintained and beautiful are now wild with weeds. The children who lived here and played here did enjoy their time outside.

Sad, yes, but have to disagree with any beauty in it whatsoever. Brings tears to my eyes, such innocence lost in such a horrible place.
