Set afire, teen now struggles for survival


What has the world come to? 1

http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/11/02/teen.burned.recovery/index.html2

So you owe us 40$ because you did not pay the video game and now you snitched on us for stealing your Dad's bicycle ... 3

And voila we douse you in rubbing alcohol and set you on fire!4

I would burn off the feet of all the purps, teens that have no place on this GOD FORSAKEN EARTH!!!!!!5

I really think its high time we give parents the tools they need to keep thier kids under control again, CORPORAL PUNISHMENT when done right and for the right reasons never killed anybody!6

Good even if it was my own kid who lit the match, LORD KNOWS I WOULD GO NUCLEAR on HIS or HER ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!7


I am so bloody mad at the world and mankind right now!8

      It just makes me so sad to read these things, of course I have an angry reaction at first but good lord what can we do to change things around.

    Angelo....I read the article, and it brings back memories of the days of raising my son, and the addictions to videos that was all around us, including in our home...The cruelty in some hearts of young people is absolutely frightening. Severe punishment as a deterrent is the only way to stop it, plus a visit to a prison where all the inmates scare the heck out of them....and what they will be like if they continue!

      That might be a good idea Rose, you know get them to a jail for a day or two to get a feel for live behind bars.

  • I am copying the link into my facebook and asking for prayers that all be healed and whole. This may well be what breaks those boys.

    I saw this story last week, and yes. It makes me mad too. What's even more heartbreaking is that these kids are just 13-14-15 years old. The mother ought to be commended for staying by her son's side through all of this. I would want to hurt these kids, but what does that solve? I just hope the parents of these kids that did this understand what their children have done.
    Love,

      Hello Jin,

      I know nothing will ever change what happened to that poor kid, damn this is just another one of the signs that we have lost total control of everything.

      40$ huh!

      Soon they will be killing each other for lunch money.
