#this story is actually sad like#he said he didn’t go anywhere when he died#but his dad wrote the book and put the kid’s name on it cause the dad knew it’d sell a shit ton of books#”no shhh you went to heaven shhhh”#despite both the boy and his mother saying they DID NOT want the book published#it was published#and the boy saw NONE of the profit#it went straight to the dad#so the parents got divorced and he lives with his mom now#and despite asking and demanding and explaining multiple times that they didn’t want this book out there#and please take it off the market#it never stopped#so what did they do?#they did the only thing they thought would work#they said he went to hell instead so that the christians wouldn’t buy it so the monsters wouldn’t keep selling it#and it worked#it fucking#worked#they’re pulling the book from shelves#I know this post was meant to be funny but damn#knowing the whole story kinda#feels more important to me (tags: abananapepper)

Only he’s not saying he went to hell. And that’s not him in that picture. He is in a wheelchair and cannot walk. He is, however, the youngest person to have the breathing device that the late Christopher Reeve had.

As far as I can tell, that picture is some Onion-esque thing that originated who knows where, because image search only turns up tumblr posts.
