I was very surprised also. I was quite sure he would want to testify and tell his version, but I was quite wrong. I truly believe both Tim and Tracy to this day think that what they did was perfectly ok.
I had a very verbally abusive childhood and while I’m mostly “healed” from it, I can’t express how much it impacts a child - and I had no disorders like RF did. The box alone is atrocious abuse, but the verbal assaults and tone used with that child will impact him for the rest of his life. Maybe even more so than the box. My heart bleeds for this child. I truly hope that he can learn coping skills and recieve the love and care he never got as a child.
