30. the boy did not lie

he was 6 years old at the time this happened. His father lied. Let me repeat that. His father lied. Then his father kept the proceeds for himself. His father biked fools out of their money because it "proved" to them what they wanted to believe. His father lined his own pockets fat the expense of his child's welfare.

I am sure as a 6 year old he described his experience as best as he could with his limited verbal skills. His father took advantage of him. Give the kid some credit as soon as he was old enough to start to understand what really happened he started to contradict the claims the father made. It is sad that it has taken so much time for the media to catch on. But then again, what the kid is now saying directly contradicts the narrative that so many have heavily invested in as the truth. We all know the media sometimes prefers fantasy over fact.

Money trumps truth.
