I am skeptical. First, because this is not a “news source”. It is some blog-like internet entity.

Second, because this story did get news play. The boy was shot, and there was a big rally for him. But there is nothing in the same news outlets about the hospital denying treatment. While i could theorize news organizations ignoring a story, it is rare for them to run stories about things like this, and then fail to follow up when things change.

I’ve read articles from several different days after the shooting, and they are all positive articles about the boy’s progress, and none of them mention any requests to terminate the boy. It seems highly unlikely they this is happening and none of the news outlets who have been following the story would mention it, and not even in the COMMENTS of those news articles are people who claim to know the family mentioning it.

There are other oddities. their two boys, 8 and 12, were in the back of a car with “family members” when a drug deal went bad. The 8-year-old is under CPS control, although he is now living with other “family members”. Why not with the parents? I don’t trust CPS, but there is something going on here.

And this entire “article” is written from the statements made by the parents. I know it is written to look like reporting, but if you read it carefully, you see that everything told to you is from something the parents said, either to the reporter, or to friends who then talked to the reporter.

So we just don’t know if any of the story is true or not. It could all be true, or some could be true.

Given that they had a rally for the boy, you’d think that if he was about to be executed, that would end up in a real news outlet.

A real news outlet? Like MSNBC?
