Why should anyone “feel” for the parents of the idiot thug who stomped on the girl?
Only the girl gets any sympathy and the thug should be stomped to near-death himself, allowed to recover, then stomped again twice more.
At least that’s what the Old Testament says to do. I agree with the three-fold punishment in return.
I think the reference of sympathy for the parents of 'both' children had to do with girl who was just attacked, and the boy who was set on fire a year ago.
