Kids' prize fund theft was just a misunderstanding

DOUBLE TROUBLE FOR A FIRST TIME DAD OF TWINS

- RICHARD IRVINE

It's impossible to judge without knowing the full context of any situation. For example, if you saw me eating the children’s easter eggs, you'd think I was a thief, but what you didn't know was I'd been for a bike ride and in dire need of the energy.

We've all read terrible stories of child stars whose money has mysteriously disappeared. Trusted parents oversaw their finances and management fees, expenses, and matching Ferraris have burned through the millions leaving the child with nothing.

These people are the lowest of the low stealing from their own flesh and blood, you might say, and up until last week, I couldn't have agreed with you more. We don't know what misunderstanding led to the Hollywood prodigy's parents buying a yacht with the proceeds of the trust fund.
