Description
TRIGGER WARNING: child abuse
This one is right up there with Sylvia Likens in terms of how much we hate it, but the fact that it’s been nearly 70 years since a young boy died in Philadelphia and people are still trying to do the right thing for him made us want to cover this one anyway.
