What do you mean: "Joey couldn't take it?"
Was he suppose to be able to take the abuse that was given him?
Is that what was expected of a 14 year old little boy?
Come on. He was a kid, and he did not deserve to be treated that way. You need to stop, and think about what you are saying. He was hurt badly, over and over. He was not sent to Whitmore to be humiliated, cursed, hit, and beat.
At least give him that. No, he could not take it, and he should not have had it done to him.
And not one kid at Whitmore should have been made to hurt that boy either. If Cheryl Sudweeks wanted Joey hurt, she should have had the guts to do it herself!
