They earned over half a million dollars in advertising revenue in less than three years of running the site, and have even bought and paid off a nice condo unit down under.

2. ‘The first time I held him was also the last.’
Remember Daniel? The poor 2-year-old boy who was abused to death by his own mother and her live-in boyfriend? His real dad was in prison when he was born, and he’s heartbroken at his son’s death. He said, ‘The first time I held him was also the last.’
