"Yeah, I guess he's the only one who seems halfway decent. At least he admitted he messed up and looks like he's actually reflecting on it!"

"It's heartbreaking."

"My heart goes out to that little baby girl who passed away right after she was born."

"Maybe it was a blessing in disguise. If she'd stayed, she'd probably just have been treated like a scapegoat for the whole family."
