The schoolboy 'torturers'

Police quiz two children as boys, 9 and 11, are slashed, burned and thrown into 30ft ditch

By JAYA NARAIN 06th April 2009

A boy of 11 was fighting for his life last night after he was slashed with a knife, burnt with cigarettes and thrown 30ft down an embankment by children his own age.

The boy and a nine-year-old playmate were riding their bikes in the spring sunshine when they were confronted by two other youngsters aged just ten and 11.

They demanded the pair hand over their mobile phones, money and trainers. When they refused they were tortured with burning cigarettes, cut with a knife 'from head to toe' and then beaten with bricks, according to witnesses.

Isn’t this what “A Clockwork Orange” was about?

An example on how great nations change in a short span of 30 years! Take away authentic Christian culture and education and you get unspeakable barbarity fast becoming the norm.

If my son even considered doing something like this, I would beat the snot out of him and ground him for life.

My kids aren't afraid of the law...they are afraid of God's wrath, my husband, and ME.

Nowadays, parents want to be their child's friend.

First, be their protector and caregiver. Then, be their role model and the "enforcer." When they are productive, centered adults, then you can be their friend.

"Officers were carrying out door to door enquiries last night to establish what had happened."

This is the DUMBEST thing - why not just ask the kids what happened?

Lots of people there see but don’t want to get involved. Same as in many American inner cities. The Queen won’t let them defend themselves so information that might catch a gang member never gets told.

Dear HiTech,

I would venture to say probably not. I see it in my own neighborhood; children being raised by "the street."

You could be arrested in the UK for implying what I know 6,000 miles away here in California. Even if we are right and crime is analyzed, making ethnic assumptions based on impartial facts is “facist, racist and Islamaphobic.”

Just like here, La Raza and the NAACP scream “Raaaaacism” if you take the total numbers of incarcerated people and then count count each white, black, Asian or Latino and publish the results. Telling the truth about non-whites is wrong, racist and not displaying sensitivity.

The world has lost its mind as government says its basically ok for you to be hurt, and if you report it, it’s wrong. I have friends in the UK and trust me, they are as pissed off as we are.

In the end, we will have to fight to keep our freedom.

Psychopathic behavior can be seen that young and even younger. There are fairly objective ways to test if they are psychopaths or not. These children should be tested.
