just curious...anybody else hear/read that the vic’s parents dropped him off to spend the night with one of the attackers? What piss poor judgement on the parents part.
Not defending the parents but from the local news reports... one of the guys pretended to be his friend. They go to school together. Perhaps his parents thought that this was a normal friendship that was happening and were happy that their son was being “accepted” by others? If the reports are true.. it is even more evil than I thought because there was a time period to get this boy and his family to see him as a friend. Thus, there was planning and maybe for quite a period of time. Case in point: my teen daughter is friends with two special need girls at her school (she is the type to ask them to sit down at her table at lunch etc). They all met up at a mall for a “girls shopping trip and lunch”. The two girls parents were just so happy that their daughters were doing a “normal” high school girl event i.e. fashion and spending money on clothes. They haven’t spent the night but I think the parents would have accepted a slumber party invite.
All I’ve read was that one of the attackers went to school with him.
