51. So he had he had his ten minutes of fame as a toddler, his name or circumstances mean little to the public eye. Obviously he doesnt act anymore, or he used what he did to play the fallen child star routine or for publicity. At this point he should do something useful with his life. Who even cares?

52. Why are you comdenming his young man? Did you ever think she was the one who attacked him? What about being innocent until proven guilty? Just because he is a guy does not mean he is the brut? It is messed up either way.
