Hoax Alert
Rom Houben isn't the one typing the messages on his computer. This is an instance of the "facilitated communication" fraud. Watch the msnbc.com video from 12 seconds to 35 seconds: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31388323/vp/34111007#34111007

 * I made a edit about this, but it was reverted, arguing that the new info should go into a new article. I am not going to start a war over this, but I am going to revert the revert, since I simply don't see how this small bit of extra info to a very specific story about a single individual could warrant a whole article of its own. It is not even confirmed that the original story is indeed a hoax, it is just that there is reasonable suspicion. At least until it is confirmed, it should just appear as a 'heads-up' in this original article. --217.157.165.109 (talk) 12:45, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree that this info probably would have been relevant to the article, but per our article archiving policy, pages should not undergo significant content changes or additions after 31 hours. In this case, it's been well over that time limit since the article was published. As such, I've had to undo your edit, sorry. Tempodivalse [talk]  15:01, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
