Miami New Times story here.
When the boy played with girly toys, the doctors instructed [the mother] to avert her eyes from the child.
According to a 2001 account in Brain, Child Magazine, "On one such occasion, his distress was such that he began to scream, but his mother just looked away. His anxiety increased, and he did whatever he could to get her to respond to him... Kraig became so hysterical, and his mother so uncomfortable, that one of the clinicians had to enter and take Kraig, screaming, from the room." . . .
At age 18, shamed by his childhood diagnosis and treatment, Rekers's poster boy attempted suicide . . . .
