Exactly. The poor kid has been traumatized for life. For one thing, you think that even though the media has not publicly released his name, he's anonymous? Forget it. Everyone in his small home town knows who he is. That kid has just had his entire childhood wiped out.
Welcome to adulthood son. Sorry your'e 13; can't smoke, can't chew, can't drink, can't vote, can't drive, can't enter into a contract, can't have a job. But otherwise, you are no longer a child.
You are right. Well spoken.
