This is pretty loving sad. 3 kids (of ages 9, 10, and 11) lured this kid away, doused him with gasoline, and set him on fire. Kid is now in a medically-induced coma with third degree burns to a fourth of his body.

I want to be able to stay away from the news to try to shield myself away from bad news like this but it's just unavoidable if I'm on the blf

Kids are scary sometimes.

the 3 other kids should be publicly executed or sent to prison for life

[Willymcmilly]

why

[Jshotgun]

now hold on before you lose hope in humanity completely:

the boy's financial support page garnered around 2,000% more than it's $10,000 goal
its either 2,000% more or i cant do simple math

[Planr]

This is how many kids in the new generation behave, sadly. I remember seeing the behavior of the underclassmen in my high school and middle school. It was almost barbaric.

[e-maxx]

the 3 other kids should be publicly executed or sent to prison for life

that's a bit extreme

[Space1255]

Holy loving stuff. I used to joke about humanity devolving to the barbaric times but that joke might be a reality

[Poliwhirl]

maybe those kids' parents were really forgeted up
i don't think any kids are naturally that cruel, has anyone looked into those kids' home situations?

Page said that one of the parents being a single mom couldn't control their kid at all. I would say the blame goes to the parents, usually these sorts of things come from abuse or neglect, but I could be talking out my ass here.

This is gonna be pretty bad emotional scarring for him, hopefully he'll recover fairly well
