While I find the story to be awful, I have to wonder what really took place. Having worked in journalism for a short while, I know that stories are just that - “stories”. I can’t imagine this result, based on the reporting, here. There must be A LOT more to the situation. Thank you.
I am surprised that everyone has missed the references to the family strongly insisting that the boy not be depicted as a bad boy.
What family would be that concerned?
Is this some quirk in their native country?
Or is this the parents of a bad kid?
