@RAVerBruggen I don't respect her for writing it at all. Why highlight your 16-year old daughter in a NYTimes essay? She is a child, for God's sake. Hasn't NHJ done enough to the girl? Let her try to finish growing up without the huge publicity. 8.3K views · 23 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
