....as I hadn't heard of this poor kid's situation before. What an awful thing to happen! What happened to the child who poured the gas on him?

And heart wrenching review. Have you considered submitting it to bgooddays Helping Hands Write-off? I think they are still taking submissions. All proceeds from the review would go to the charity of your choice and you could just submit it to this one plus add'l monies if you wished.

Anyway, just thought I'd bring that up. Information is on his profile page.

...look into Dave Roever. We have met Dave personally and he is a man you never forget. Dave was completely burned by a phosphorous grenade in Viet Nam. He has an organization that goes around to schools and encourages youth. He reaches kids no one can reach.

Anyway, Dave has had kids he brings under his wing that have been burned like the tyke you just described. There was a boy that Dave has been very close to whose father set him on fire to try to kill him.

If you get the urge sometime, get a hold of Dave's movie and watch it. And perhaps you can put Podge in touch with Dave.

No one can relate to Podge like Dave can.

Great review!
