  • Wow

I thought I knew this story inside and out, but boy was I wrong. I learned so much from your reporting… thank you so much.

    There was no excuse to let your child go back to a doctor that had an erection. I hope they all end up like Kyle’s pointless father & I hope THEIR guilt is crushing! They are to blame!
