Where was the babysitter?


Maybe the parents let their kids watch grown up movies and they recreated a scene?


Anyway, it is horrible.

How do you or any of us know what was happening between those kids? And you're going to trusty the slutty media to honestly inform you? That's another problem. Admitting the problems are the first step.
why are you trying to defend racist white teens who almost killed a little kid. it is clearly a hate crime, but you seem hell bent on attacking the poster , the source and the circumstance......

You beat me to it, so I won't repeat it.

i'm not sure what is going on in this thread. why is the OP being attacked for posting about this incident? i went to google to find out more, and many articles i see that pop up mention white teens and biracial 8 year old boy. many say it was suspected racially motivated. so...what gives? why the anger towards OP? OP didn't make it up that there is suspicion of racial motivation. and i don't know about you all...but to me, an 8 year old being hung from a tree at the park with nothing but kids around is pretty darn serious and worthy of being posted here.

I guess you missed (or chose to ignore) where the account of what happened was a direct quote from the boy's grandmother? A direct quote from the boy's grandmother is not "fake news" from the "slutty media."

Also, do you consider Fox News as part of the "slutty media?" Because they covered the story and I linked the article to their website. Here is the link to this story on the Fox News website if you missed it:

FOX NEWS: Family: Biracial boy pushed off table with rope around neck | Fox News
Yup, because family members never lie when it's convenient to inflame the listener.

I'll wait until the investigation is complete, thank you.

I glad we have a system where such things are investigated to find out the truth of what happened, you know innocent until proven guilty, before people are charged, tried and convicted on hearsay.
If indeed these kids acted with malice and tried to hang, kill or injure this child then yes they should be punished accordingly but shouldn't we actually get the facts before passing judgement.

I would have to know more about the whole case before passing any judgments. Often Hispanics are termed as being white so when they say white that doesn't necessarily mean white.

my kids are all adults now, but I distinctly remember them being able to speak by age eight.

sure, ok. I trust I will see this same reasoning when we get the inevitable 'black teens assault white kid' thread.

I don't have much hope of that happening, though.
