"Riley's" Touching Story

This video is completely facecious. It appears to be a satire of totally dishonest media. The only thing stolen from Amira are some of her photos from performances. The pictures of 'Riley' as a baby and small child, as well as her parents, are people unrelated to Amira. Amira was not a mute child. The malody attributed to 'Riley' is 100% made-up, as is the doctor, as is the entire story about his travels to Japan to find a secret herb. The science, along with computer generated images of brains and brain cells, is entirely fictitious and absurd. There is not one single true fact in this satire.

Upon being contacted about this video, Facebook replied that there is nothing in it that violates their terms of service. It is legal to use clips from video published on YouTube. It is not libel, for nothing bad is said about Amira. In fact Amira Willighagen is never mentioned, nor anyone in her family. It is whole cloth a made-up fiction from beginning to end.

When I first saw it I laughed all the way through. I understand many, or even most, may have a different reaction.
