I'm betting they're minimizing on purpose--perhaps with the "help" of the well-meaning but misguided reporter, who may be trying hard not to make the boy seem "scary" (sigh). It's hard to believe that they're still so firmly in denial that they honestly believe the boy is an ND kid when he's 10 and in college.

I think even Dottie and I would have to wake up and smell the coffee at that point, wouldn't we, Dottie? laugh wink
