The boy allegedly threw things at O’Brien and the mom once “maced her son to restrain him but inadvertently maced Mr. O’Brien,” according to the Manhattan Supreme Court papers.

Very normal and healthy family.

I know it's the Post, but this read like a Weekly World News article. Wild ride.

Apparently it's in the court case between Maltezos (the assistant who committed suicide's boyfriend) and the Wydens. It's also some leftover court stuff from Bass Wyden going after the assistant for allegedly stealing from her.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of this was made up to target Wyden politically, he has made a lot of enemies especially since he was so focused on stopping that KOSA act which does everything but keep kids safe.
