SweetK - 2006-10-17 12:33 PM The kids may be too young to really understand what that did was harmful to that disabled boy.

I guarantee you my 6yo knows it's not a good thing to set a shove anyone (disabled or not) into a building and set in on fire.

The kids may not know better, but the parents do. Where did the kids learn (or not learn) that such behavior was not acceptable? The parents. Charge them.

Clearly meant to be in sarcasm font.   If those were my kids, the cops wouldn't need to get involved....There would have been some serious HE!!! to pay!

my cousins son has spina bifida, so this story made me think of him in the same situation and it just makes me feel sick to my stomach. never undertestimate the stupidity of humans in groups, no matter what the age. makes me want to go back to homeshooling.

I couldn't read past the first sentence of that story. So sad and horrible.

Yeah sure, parenting has it place in the arguement. But I'll wager that those kids KNEW what they were doing and what was going to happen. Sure, they were under twelve. But at that age you know what is right and what is wrong. At least when it comes to the simpler things like physical violence.

Now the disturbing part comes when you ask them if they were sorry about what they did.

Another example: I think it was on Toronto, can't recall, a 12 yr old brutilly stabbed  13yr old over some little insignificant incident. He KNEW what he was doing, he KNEW that it wasn't right. Best part, zero remorse.

I agree, what were they thinking?

Yeah, they cannot be charged for criminal acts.  But they ought to be PUNISHED.  Social work, time off from video games etc.  Gotta show them the consequence.

There are too many things wrong with that whole situation to list. Bad parenting is definitely on the forefront, but at 12 years old one certainly understands the difference between right and wrong. Or, if nothing else, that lighting people on fire probably isn't an acceptable after-school activity. Charge the parents, charge the kids, and be damn sure to punish both.
