"A GoFundMe page set up to help Jackson attend college has raised over $84,000 at the time of writing. You can donate for yourself here."

Holy shit. This is insane, and it has zero to do with whether what the kid did was the right decision. None of us has any idea of the particular details in this situation, the family dynamics, the father's long-term behavior, etc.

But that quote is how the article ends. The message is crystal clear: turn in a family member to the state security forces and you will be rewarded.

That is the most evil message possible to send. No matter what happened, this was a tragedy. The breakup of a family is a tragedy. It's not a fucking opportunity for career advancement!

True evil.
