Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, we proudly bring to you,

Mornin' is a...

...Live!

Shut up and sit down!

A newt yourself, here you go, perfect my friend.

Good evening, Mr. Reel.

I am doing great. Folks, hold the applause. It's going to be kind of a dark and dreary night,

but I think we'll cover this story pretty well. Before you get into a few things,

and we want to jump right into it, if you don't mind, you guys.

I want to give at least a little warning at the front.

Tonight's episode will be discussing harm to children.

This episode will contain graphic details of injuries and a discussion around child abuse.

If you sense that now is not an appropriate time to sit with that material,

we would suggest you skip this episode at least for now,

and go find yourself a space that will be healthier to your well-being.

And with that, why don't you share a few thoughts as well before we jump into this thing?

All right, well, what we're going to be talking about tonight.

Tonight is your show officially, just so the audience knows this,

but we both agreed that a late-breaking story should be covered on Mormonism Live.

And what the story has to do with is Bonnie Cordone's grandson, Derek,

who passed away tragically back in December of 2016.

This story had remained unknown as far as I know.
