Tragic news as Rory Callum Sykes, the beloved former child star from “Kiddy Kapers,” has perished in the Malibu wildfires at the age of 32. Known for his infectious laugh and bright spirit despite being born blind and with cerebral palsy. “Kiddy Kapers” was a British reality-TV series aimed at children.

His mother, Shelley, was helpless without water to combat the blaze, leading to his death from carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s a tragic end for someone with such a remarkable story like Rory’s as a result of dire water management in California. Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass should go!
