"This seems a little fishy. I did some research on my own, and for one, it's been confirmed that one of the kids in this was lying. This condition isn't recognized by literally amy organizations I feel like the documentary should have gone over this I'm not saying that every single case of this is wrong or a hoax but I'm just like there's so much more we could have talked about."
