Feeding trash? Covering with gasoline?

I am listening to this book now. I don't believe that J.D..'s grandparents fed HIM trash and I am quite certain that they did not cover him in gasoline. Both of these incidents, I believe, were things done by his grandmother to his grandfather.--98.166.244.182 (talk) 01:44, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

You're quite right. I corrected those errors. I also tried to give the curious reader of this article a sense that this is not a sociological tract, but a devastating autobiography. Profhum (talk) 22:46, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

The article didn't imply that the author's grandparents fed him trash, nor did the source material for the paraphrase. czar 23:01, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

I include them below solely for the potential purpose of expanding/improving this article, realizing however that most are probably largely redundant. --Animalparty!
