This is local and is really sad. This kid was stabbed to death in his backyard by his friends while his mother was out running errands.

The two boys were arraigned yesterday and are being tried as adults. They face live in prison.

These two little bastards are going to prison and will belong to the guy who can trade the most cigarettes.

The world has some bad actors.
There is little hope for such empty souls.

Glad to help! What is going on with these kids?

You probably heard about the mother of the 5 year-old around Fayetteville, NC, who sold her daughter to a guy as a sex slave and they found the little girl dead. This world is sick...

Such horror.

It really makes you think back to when you were that age and who you hung around with. Could that have happened to you with one your buddies! On a side note, lets not hang these kids yet. They haven't even been indicted yet, let alone convicted. This is still the U.S. not Iran.

Even if convicted as adults, these boys will be confined in a juvenile facility until they reach adulthood.

I do agree a lot. The people you surround yourself with have a lot to do with were you go in life.

Not likely. We were too scared to even talk back to our parents - much less consider something like that. In addition since we didn't have the video games, computers, etc - all we did was play sports every single day, race our bikes, etc.

Then again I grew up in the 60's -
