You know it's sort of like the Suds story about Joey: The kid got drunk, he was was out of control, he's a liar, no one hurt this kid.
Well someone did! sort of like someone abused and neglected those horses up in Canada.
Joey did not "help himself down a flight of stairs," Cheryl Sudweeks pushed him!
Joey didn't tie himself up down at the Boy's House and beat the shit out of himself as Mark and Cherly looked on--a gang of Whitmore boys did---and Detective Kimball knows exactly which boys!
Joey didn't beat himself up in the duck room--two Whitmore students did, because Cheryl made them...and one of them has told Det. Kimball all about that little event.
So the time of the Sudweeks tall tales has come to an end: people, including Whitmore kids have and are telling the TRUTH--and hopefully the Suds are pissing in their pants!
