"Carter said that since local television station WFAA aired a report about the incident Tuesday, he felt alienated both from his fraternity brothers and the university community. He said Wednesday that he did not want to continue his affiliation with the fraternity and that he is uncertain whether he will remain at the university.
Carter said he planned to receive laser treatments to reduce scarring. He and Craven said it had been estimated that it would take at least six treatments.
"It's something I'll never really be able to get rid of even though I'm having the laser treatments done," Carter said. "This whole situation has just put so much stress on my family and me that nothing justifies it."
Carter said that while he believes he was partially responsible for the incident, he does not believe he should be punished."
So what DOES he want done? Apparently his father is the one pushing for the investigation, but the kid agreed to get branded in the first place. What kind of condition was he in that he could not stop them from branding him a second and third time? I am not one to blame the victim, but it's like he said "go ahead and burn me, but not too much".
I am not sure what kind of vindication the family wants out of this. Will bringing it to light prevent it from happening again?
