real adults enter this situation. Too many high-profile enablers...photos and all. That's what really sinks the cover-up...the photos and the letters and now the admission. That family is going to get help, likely whether they want it at all. Just the fact that all the school age kids will likely have to go to public school. And the Middle School/High School aged are really going to have a hard time. They will begin to see what "normal" is and how it deviates from their lives. That is going to be hard on everyone. Such adorable, innocent children.
