This is what the linked episode guide lists:
Tuesday: Musical guest Kellie Pickler; Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead; dermatologist Dr. Doris Day. Mexican television personality Karla Martinez guest co-hosts.
Are we talking about another nation's version of The View?

I feel for you. Are you talking to him and having regular contact with him? If so he is very lucky to have you. If not is it because you fear DFing yourself. My heart go out to you and yours
Take care love Kate xx

Might both of you be helped with a discussion? Some open ended questions might help. Does your son think that he deserves this treatment? If there were no shunning, what would be the first thing your son would do? How might good and ethical people out in the world deal with sin and error?
I'm thinking the both of you might be helped with a night out. Spend time with regular people. Perhaps go to a coffee shop or attend a concert.

It's great that "Jehovah's Witnesses" and "Scientology" are getting this exposure on tv about the "shunning" tactics, involving to the 'core' of families. People shake their heads at the horribleness of it.
