Arthur Baselice Jr.'s grief has pushed him into a self-imposed exile. Almost 10 years after his son died from a drug overdose with links to
his abuse by two Franciscan clergymen in Northeast Philadelphia,
Baselice rarely leaves his house.
"I don't want to go nowhere," said Baselice. Walking through the Baselice home in suburban South Jersey is like walking through a monument to their lost son, Arthur Baselice III. Pictures of him are everywhere. The urn with his ashes sits on a table at the entrance to the living room, where each night his father and mother light a candle in his honor.
