Missouri Attorney General spokeswoman Madeline Sieren clarified in a statement later in the day that adults also would be covered. “We have serious concerns about how children are being treated throughout the state, but we believe everyone is entitled to evidence-based medicine and adequate mental health care,” Sieren said.

He played a whopping 280 games for the Admirals alone while trying to make a name for himself.“It’s something I’ve always kept inside of me as a drea...
