Are you saying that the boy’s father wasn’t married officially to the woman pregnant with his child? That is no excuse for this 11yo’s crime. There are plenty of couples living together with their children from other marriages, and even though they may be wrong to live together without marriage, that does not explain an 11yo boy committing this crime.
No kidding. It's the latest trend. And how are the kids doing? In general, they are boiling over with rage, most of which they inflict on themselves and/or society at large.
