Another commercial came on. The screen went dark and sad, sorrowful music came out of the television’s speaker. A woman’s quiet voice spoke in soothing, yet sad tones. “Every year, hundreds of Littles are adopted and are put into abusive households.” Black and white photos of Littles filled the screen.

A Little woman in a white dress came on screen. “My Mommy would only change my diaper once every couple of days.”
