This is absolutely disgusting, I hope the teenagers that did this rot for what they have done to this boy, but knowing this country they will be let off with a warning and probation. I'm sorry to upset people, but seriously parents need to be more involved with their kids and keep tabs on them, speak to them, ask whats going on their lives. Yes I am a parent, but my son is my priority, even though he is only very young at the moment, as he gets older I will be "up in his business" whether he likes it or not.

More examples of "time out" kids.

I seen this just today on the news and my heart broke for him and his Mother. As for the kids that performed this brutal act - God be with you; you are going to need him.

I don't feel sorry for kids who get bullied. If you can't take middle school... how's life going to treat you?

[jken 2]

This act went beyond bullying - it is attempted murder. God be with your own children.

Juveniles get into trouble when they don't have any outlets and little to no supervision. Mob mentality compounds the trouble.

I doubt it. More like "my parents are junkies or alcoholics" kids. They didn't throw a temper tantrum because they didn't get a new ipod. They set another child on fire. You really think that type of behavior comes from getting time outs instead of the belt or what have you?

So, were you the bullier or the bullied in school?

Tell you what, if they feared their parents enough they wouldn't be pulling that kind of #######.

I have a feeling that the parents either don't give a #######, or possibly even encourage them to be little POS's.

Sorry but this observation is weak.

I doubt on down though history parents were spending anyone "buddy time" with their kids than they are today.

I know that no one was "keeping an eye on me" after the age of ten and I never thought of lighting the neighbors kids on fire.

Some kids just do stupid stuff and other have serious "evil" in them.

That type of behavior happens when kids don't fear their parents.

So, were you the bullier or the bullied in school?

Neither really. I had a few guys who picked on me very early on because I was told it's not OK to hit people at school. Well, eventually my mom got tired of the principal calling her to tell her I'd been involved in a "fight" so she told me it was OK to hit back.

There was one more "fight" after that.

My point exactly.

Children are the most inherently evil animals on the planet and the only thing that stops them from carrying out primal instincts is their parents heavy hands.

Some kids just do stupid stuff and other have serious "evil" in them.

I'm a firm believer in the possibility of having that evil beaten out.

Quote all the psycho babble you want... but it works.

The question shouldnt be "what is wrong with kids", it should be "what is wrong with those kids?"
