The story is actually sort of touching

Couldn't that be construed as slavery?

Shouldn't the title have a question mark instead of an exclamation mark? Or would both be better!? Maybe not... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm questions, questions.

I saw that yesterday. I clicked on that story, fully expecting that to find something that would stir up my skeptic side. When I read the story, though, I found that my skeptical side got out-shouted by the parent in me. This was really just a parent trying desperately to help an unhappy child, not some woo-woo nutcase actually trying to sell a ghost. While I don't think I would have handled it that way, it is kind of a nice story.
