The linked story has been updated to reflect the uncertainty around why the mother and her lesbian lover gruesomely physically assaulted (repeatedly) and starved the boy.

There is some evidence that the beatings may sometimes have happened when the boy refused to wear girl’s clothes.

As usual fuck that extremist cuntrag snopes.

Think about it: if a mother beat her son to death, that would presumably happen in a private place. How would word of the source of the altercation get out to the press?

That common sense, along with the culture-war stink about the story, makes me suspicious

How very odd the headline had not. Almost as if they knew better but still wanted to run the sensational headline.

As usual fuck that extremist cuntrag snopes. Harvard Law School?

Its the nazi totalitarian forces attempting to crack-down with martial law for manufactured reasons as part of regime change. That is why the content feeds have gotten so ultra-right wing masturbatory "fake news".

It's got a lot to do with the economic imperatives of online advertising. Clicks pay the bills. Accuracy does not. The quickest way to build traffic to a website isn't to inform people, or to make them think, but to tell them what they already want to hear, pander to their Belief System.
