Yikes. That "lynch mob" terminology is a bit inflammatory.
Anyway, the genesis of the story seems to lie with Ken. I wonder whether events would transpire differently if Ken and Mae's sister's side of the story didn't expand beyond their personal sphere of influence. No way for us to know for sure.
My "non-story" comment wasn't meant as a comparison between the story as reported on Thursday and as reported now. It was that the events either way are and were a non-story. No major media outlet is covering this.
Present company completely excluded. You have been more than willing to discuss this reasonably. By the lynch mob I refer to those who immediately condemned some with no other news but the first reports. And the condemnation was heated and pretty nasty.

I am tempted to question Ken's motivations for going so public, but then I would possibly be jumping to conclusions. It would be interesting to know just how involved Ken was with Mae during the 10 years that Gaddy cared for her. We may never know the total story.
