I can’t imagine something like this happening because I have two brothers. One is nine years old, and the other is 10 years old. If something like that were to happen to them, I don’t know how I would respond. They’re young, and they have their whole lives ahead of them. I wouldn’t know what to do without them. A child, a young child to be taken away like that is very sad. I just want to say to all the families, all of America is here to support you, and show you love.
