Yes, it is shocking. But it didn't start with Turtle Boy. It was engineered by Karen. She worked through an intermediary and then directly with Turtle Boy to spark a PR campaign, contrary to the judge's orders. I don't know how well known Aidan Kearney was before this, but he's definitely a household name in this region now. When Kearney got nonpublic documents over the transom from Karen's intermediary, he began sharing them on his blog. Howie Carr picked it up and featured Turtle Boy on his daily radio show. Carr has a big platform. Karen's allegations of a grand conspiracy became engrained as fact to Carr's audience.
