DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. — A teen who police say was set ablaze by five other boys screamed in agony as a breathless 911 caller pleaded for help because "a little boy just caught on fire," according to a recording released Friday.

In the most dramatic of four emergency calls released by the Broward County Sheriff's Office, the relentless, guttural cries of 15-year-old Michael Brewer often drown out the woman who is dialing dispatchers.

"A little boy just caught on fire!" the unidentified woman says, barely able to catch her breath to give her address.

Prompted by the dispatcher during the eight-minute call, the woman asks the boy, "How did this happen?" He cries: "I don't know! I don't know!" Paramedics later ask him who is responsible for his burns, but he again says he doesn't know.

Fry the bastards.

too many video games, not enough parents.

I hope this young man recovers quickly and fully and that justice is served.

I hate to exploit this hideous situation, but how can we continue to blame feminism and the biased school system for the problems boys are having, when boys are destroying each other like this.

Stop beating and killing each other first, and then you can blame any remaining problems on everyone else.

This is going to become more common as the days gone on. Thuggery has been ‘officially’ endorsed while the value of human life is diminished more each day. We are in a free-fall; morally, spiritually, and economically.

I’m at a loss for words. I hope they’re tried as adults. What they did was evil to the point of depravity.

Fry the bastards.

"I hate to exploit this hideous situation, but how can we continue to blame feminism and the biased school system for the problems boys are having, when boys are destroying each other like this(?)"

It's simple...we (as a feminized society) have removed or responsible fathers, or ridiculed them to the point they won't taken seriously. I'd be willing to bet the perps either had no father at the home, or if they did it was one who never made them face the consequences of bad behavior.

This hits me pretty hard. I had little bastards TRY to do that to my kid.

[GunningForTheBuddha]

nuke em it's quicker.
Boil 'em, it's slower.

[Lando Lincoln]

No mention of the race/ethnicity of the beasts who did this...

[allmost]

you must have a ‘saintly’ temper. Your kid’s okay right?

I believe the country is 55% female, so what did the other 45% do to counter this? When they aren't beating, shooting, or Madoffing each other, I mean.

[allmost]

Your logic is impeccable.

[Crazieman]

They couldn’t get the lighter going and he got away. I don’t really like to talk about it.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Things like this start when MEN are not around to teach boys how to behave properly. When boys have only other boys, television, movies, and violent video games as male role models, they get a distorted idea of how a man should act.

[Teflonic]

That was heartbreaking to listen to. The boy is screaming in agony and when a paramedic finally got to him you can hear him politely scream “Please Sir, help me!”

[DogBarkTree]

I hope this doesnt do anything to cause the young perps to loose self esteem.

[allmost]

glad it ended well. just damn.

Remember, this is Broward County. If there is anything absurb happening anywhere it is probably in Broward County.
