But at least he didn’t use catheters on the kids!

But that's why I like it! haha. I never read the actual story.
They didn't meet horrible fates in the Wilder version though, he assures Charlie at the end that each of the other kids would be back to their normal rotten selves or whatever.
Maybe I should read the story.
