To add to the dismay, Hansell said his Permanent Fund Dividend check has been garnished every year following a lawsuit after the incident – filed in his name, by adults – when he was a boy. He said he wants change for future generations so that they don’t have to relive their trauma the way he does.
“I’d hate to have this happen to them,” he said. “They have to pay for it, and it brings back those memories that you – growing up – put to the wayside a little bit.”
Channel 2 reached out to the PFD Office Wednesday, but received no response.

By Craig Medred: Comment now
The time has come to talk about online comments, or maybe the time is well past.
What seems a long time ago in a world now all different, Debbie McKinney, a reporter at the Anchorage Daily News in its McClatchy Company iteration, lamented the birth of these uncensored, real-time, internet versions of letters to the editor.
A feature writer at the newspaper, McKinney had a yen for stories about quirky Alaska characters, and it troubled her how some of the people she wrote about became targets of derision for no other reason than their appearance in a newspaper story.
McKinney, about as kind-hearted a person as you could ever meet, was upset not only that some came under attack because she wrote a story about them, but that the newspaper – by allowing unfettered public comment – provided the forum for such attacks from unidentified critics.
