Eakins and His Niece

Thomas Eakins and his niece had a strange yet famous relationship. They did not use any live chat software, however they could have had they lived today. Instead, Eakins is said to have caused his niece to commit suicide by attacking her and molesting the girl. She blew her brains out with a shotgun. These startling incidents are discussed in a new book about Eakins that anyone can obtain from their library or online. I am not making this stuff up. It is verified and historical. More than that, it is one reason why communication should be improved today with more software, to prevent such obvious misdeeds from recurring.
