And I want to also point out to people that the existence of an illness, we don't think Colin McDaniel ever had an M.O.,

He's the kid from season six.

We don't think that that was a legitimate diagnosis.

Maya Kowalski, because of the way that diagnosis came about, which was that her mom decided that was the diagnosis and then found a doctor to give her the diagnosis.

I don't think that diagnosis is accurate.

Many medical professionals testified that they did not see any symptoms that would match up with CRPS.

But there is a part of that that's a red herring because Maya Kowalski could have had CRPS.

Colin could have had NMO.

Those are not fatal diseases.

And their parents were talking about them as though they were going to die persistently in the lead up to, in Colin's instance, the death.

In Maya Kowalski's situation, luckily, her being separated from Beata Kowalski went into the hospital and said, if you don't give her this massive amount of ketamine, I will take her home and put her on hospice so that she can finally die.

She doesn't want to live like this anymore.

And Beata, furthermore, was an infusion nurse who had been giving her daughter ketamine and other drugs at home.

There was no reason to believe that she wasn't going to follow through on that.

And I've seen multiple perpetrators follow through on that threat.

So when a parent is talking extensively about how their child is going to die when they don't have a terminal diagnosis, that should absolutely scare everyone.

And we should take that really seriously because I am of the opinion that they are telegraphing an intention, or at least you cannot be sure that they're not.

100 percent.

That's a huge piece of the pattern just from beginning to end.

And again, that's something that if you're talking to like a sibling or a family member that's been around that person since they were younger, that they'll just say like any time the attention is on someone else, they have a crisis to redirect the attention to them.
