I am sorry to hear of one going through such a shocking experience, but I will have to say that these things have been going on long before the internet.

Buyer beware!  In all cases it is good to check things out well, but how should you have known to check out something like this?  I know I would not have thought of it, most likely.

It is time to release all of it though, and move on with your life without feelings of anger, because these will only keep you from the good which is ahead of you, as long as you do not allow this to cause you to stop growing, and cultivating a positive outlook. 

We all have many sorrows, but it is the way we can pick ourselves up and at least give thanks for the simple blessings that are in our world.  I am sure we all have many that go overlooked. 

I wish you the best in dealing with all the feelings that must come up regarding this experience.  In reaching out to others, you are offering help, and that is very healing too.
