      Wouldn’t surprise me, the things that people are willing to do for ballet is ridiculous, and it takes a pretty big toll on your body.

        I wouldn’t be surprised, after reading all about the situation, if the girl was also being sexually groomed, and this was all an elaborate act to keep her looking a certain way.
