   Akiane’s mother Ferelli Krameric was a friend and neighbor of my mother when her family lived in coal Creek canyon, Colorado during 2002/2003. She was also associated with the Boulder Colorado “Urantia Book” Religious organization, of which my mother is a member. We believe that there are many questionable circumstances surrounding Akiane’s status as a child prodigy. Firstly, her mother is a painter in very much the same vein. In fact, one of the paintings on Akiane’s website is virtually identical to a piece which was hanging in their living room, and was represented to us as being created by Ferelli. Also, Ferelli was avidly searching for a model for a portrait of Jesus that SHE wanted to paint. She constantly talked about Akiane being the second coming of Christ; time traveling, unusual dreams, profetic quotes, etc. To us, the child acted and spoke as a normal seven year old kid. When her mother would conduct such rantings about the child, Akiane appeared upset and annoyed about the stories.

   Curious that you have withheld your name and, to date, that no one else has come forward to corroborate your suggestion that Akiane’s art is merely the fraudulent work of her mother.

   You claim that her mother “constantly talked about Akiane being the second coming of Christ”. Really? And was this incredible absurdity communicated “constantly” to you and your mother only, or to the entire Urantia Book club in Boulder? After so much media attention, I am surprised that no additional Urantia members have come forward to expose Ferelli’s alleged spiritual delusion. Your post is a fabrication — and a poorly crafted one at that. Along with telling the truth, you might brush up on your writing and spelling skills.
