    CryMy son is only 9 but i could see him doing this.

    He is very smart and fools people all the time and pins people aginst other as does the ODD in him.

    I feel for you and i really wish the insurance companies would get there heads out of there you know whats and do rihgt by there members.

    I tried to apply for

     SS for my son so if needed he would have a better chance when he turns 18. he was denied even though the doctor we seen told me he was amazed at how pronounced his symptoms were.

    I will pray for your family.
