A 10-year-old special-needs boy was on life support after bullies allegedly lured him to a field, doused him with gasoline, and lit him on fire on Sunday.

Kayden Culp of Kerrville, Texas, has burns on 20 percent of his body from his ears to his belly button, and his organs are failing, according to a YouCaring page set up by the boy

Lord God,
Please rescue Kayden from the brink of death. May he not die but live and declare the works of the Lord. Father, we cannot comprehend this evil act, but understand that there is a steady influence of ugliness that assaults our children daily. We pray for these three youths who have permanently altered their own lives as well. Bring aid to them, Father, so that they may know Your plan for their repentance and forgiveness. Help Kayden and his family to be flooded with Your love and peace. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

“Burn them alive.”

If this were one of my kids who was the victim my husband would have already done this and I’d have been happy to pass the match.

Their parents should be held liable. Children that age are really incapable of fully understanding their actions. The parents are obviously doing a very poor job with their responsibilities.

It doesn’t cause me grief - the movies are incredibly violent and contribute to the moral degeneracy of this country. Hollywood has much to answer for.

The son of a friend of mine and his buddies went into a small field with a can of gasoline. Little did they know it would explode. All the boys were burnt and learned a lesson.

The son went on to become an Engineer, winding up his career in the space program at Cape Canaveral.

We pray for our kids every day...and wish them the gifts of faith and wisdom.

Really? In your childhood when did you ever think it was okay to light another human being on fire?

I admit I torched some Christmas trees that were in the alley and a pile or two of trash but how does one decide to light a person on fire?

One unidentified child has been charged with arson...

In a more civilized society they would be fed to the lions.

It was intentional if not premeditated. The boys were known to bully him. He is in a coma and his organs are failing.

“Mack said the 10-year-old was playing in a field with two other children when one boy doused him with gasoline and another set him on fire off Wallace Street in Kerrville on Sunday afternoon. The floor of a shed also burned.”

“The family believes the attack was planned.”

Unbelievable! Who ‘raised’ these boys? Where did they get such an idea? Were they all SN children? All games of violence, video’s depicting violence, movies doing the same, if any of that had something to do with this beyond horrible deed...put them out of business with all means available.

Just kids being exceptionally stupid.

Exceptionally! Even by the standards of my gormless Offspring.

Arson is the only charge they could bring against them? That is pitiful.

Wait a minute.

In Texas if you set a human being on fire, they charge you with Arson?

Hmm...perhaps. Does throw a completely different light on the incident if true.

Kerrville fire and police officials said the fire that left Kayden Culp, 10, with second- and third-degree burns doesn't appear to be premeditated.

At a news conference, officials said the shed was already on fire when a juvenile male poured gasoline onto the fire, causing a flash fire that burned Kayden.

"Which in turn resulted in a backflash to ignite the container and the contents of that accelerant, which were then discarded by that individual, which inadvertently, according to everything that we've developed, struck this child," Police Chief David Knight said.
