I don't know, but I don't see how you have any more evidence to back up your position than I do mine. I think you're mistaking cynicism for smarts, and that's always a bad error.
Let's see. The kid lives 600 miles away from the hospital yet being only 10 years old, somehow he managed to get there. His father was there encouraging him. Sounds like he was getting help from his parents to me. That's not cynicism, that's just logic.
Reading is fundamental. Try it sometime.
