"We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives."

    How many of you have studied Scientology? They do recognize mental illness and autism and other illness' and so forth. They recommend medical treatment but not mind altering drugs. And are there any doctor's here who treated this young man? If you didn't then you don't know what was wrong with him. Study something before you open your mouth.

    I think it is a tragedy that they lost their son. However, they should call their foundation what it is. A support resource for families dealing with "autistic" children. Scientology does not recognize anything that can be perceived as a mental of brain illness.

    John and Kelly mean from the heart, no matter what race, religion or money involved, they loved their son.
