Matthew Stewart Pitzer was 9 years old when his mother decided she could no longer care for him.
Pitzer's drug-addicted mother left him at Montevista Hospital, a psychiatric and chemical dependency hospital in the western valley. A few days later, social services called to ask Pitzer's mother to come pick up the child. She refused.
