His name was Ivan Simpson. He was born in a mental hospital. When he was eleven years old, his mother took him and his younger brother and little sister to a swimming pool, and declared that God was asking her to drown them because they were enemies of God. He and his little brother escaped, and he stood there while she drowned his little sister in front of him. He said he felt relief that his sister was not going to be tormented any longer. I couldn’t help thinking that here we are, the richest country the world has ever known—the most powerful. And there was no one for this little boy.
