Oh, wait. That makes him a six year old boy.
The story is produced by ABC's 20/20 t.v. show, and you know what that means: barbara walters.
Maudlin; relativistic; and sensationalized - with a huge dose of rationalization to insure prurient, pandering prime time ratings.
Fair warning. Ol' babs throws in all the heart wrenching momma quotes & 'we know it all' medical experts to show this lil boy as 'misunderstood', and in need of 'acceptance' because he was born that way.
Sorry, babs. His parents are child abusers.
Plus his sicko pediatrician & therapists guilty of aiding & abetting this abuse, not to mention medical malpractice.
Fortunately, this practice is not common, and roundly condemned in the West.
Has CPS been called yet?
