"As time went on more and more strange behavior, very unlike Alexis, started. She was getting in trouble at school and was unable to concentrate or retain anything she learned. I was taking her to every kind of doctor I could think of, but every test came back normal. Things progressively got worse. At this point her personality had changed 100%. She would go through fits of rage and she would scream at me and call me names and tell me how much she hated our family and me." - Alexis Wolf - 14 (New Mexico, US)

"Have ever had to try to wake up your child that is a shadow of their former self, trapped in their own body. They can hear you, but cannot open their eyes, let alone lift their head from the pillow. Have you ever watched your child’s lips move in response to you asking them a question but no sound comes out because they do not have the energy to even form a whisper? Have you ever arrived home hours later and have your child repeat back everything that you said to them that morning, proving beyond a doubt that opening their eyes, responding and getting out of bed are a physical impossibility? Have you ever seen a grey pallor take over your child’s skin, making them look waxen and worn down? Have you ever looked into your child’s eyes and seen nothing there? Eyes that are completely devoid of life? Eyes that appear to be black and dead?" - Deborah Halliday - 13 (Inverness, Scotland)
