Corey has a condition called Kabuki Syndrome, for those wondering. He's actually 26, not a teenager like many think. Yet disability aside, he was very brave, and managed to get his point across as well as anyone on the stand today. His Father would be proud.

I just burst out crying. This disabled son really needed his dad and that monster stole him away from him.

I lost my father to cancer 5 years ago and I’m still not over it. The moment he said “I miss him” I immediately began to bawl because I felt every ounce of anguish and pain in his words because almost every single day, I say the exact same thing about my father. I miss him so so much. He was my favorite person. I was a daddy’s girl. I’ve lived apart from him for over 20 years, but we were best friends. I miss my father with every fiber of my being, and so does this poor boy.

This was beyond heartbreaking to watch. As a mom myself of a special needs child, a sister to two wonderful humans that dedicate their career to teaching and school administration, it's just emotionally draining to see all of this. I'm fearful that something like this could happen to my siblings, my child or any one. It's devastating to watch this trial, but is also important to remember that even 4 years later when the public has thrown this to the back of our brain, these victims will forever suffer this pain. Strength and love to all
