I saw the story on the news this evening: Something has to give, because too many of these incedents have gone on.
Where were these children's parents? What type of control did they have? It is evident not much, since these kids were out on the streets like they were. Now a man is dead over their foolishness!!!
Maybe it's just the way that I was raised. But I could've never just walked out of my parents home in the middle of the night; nor, hung out in the wee hours like these kids did. It was reported that they had bats and pipes. They then stole his belongings. That's crazy.
I have absolutely no sympathy for any of them: Each deserves the maximum punishment within the legal perimeters.
