The boy’s mother even recorded a video to thank everyone, saying the surgery funds were now enough and asking people to stop donating.

Their quiet honesty made the contrast with Boone’s hit–and–run even more glaring and enraged the internet even more.

Public pressure came crashing down on the Rivers family like an avalanche. Their company’s stock tanked overnight. Business partners backed out in droves. The Rivers family was in the worst crisis they’d ever faced.

Marshall ran to the Rivers family’s main branch to beg for help, but the family matriarch scolded him on the spot.
