Special-needs boy set on fire by bullies he thought were friends

A 10-year-old special-needs boy was on life support after bullies allegedly lured him to a field, doused him with gasoline, and lit him on fire on Sunday.

Kayden Culp of Kerrville, Texas, has burns on 20 percent of his body from his ears to his belly button, and his organs are failing, according to a YouCaring page set up by the boy

I’ve been in the burn ward. I was working on a running car and did not realize the thermostat was jammed closed. The upper radiator hose blew off and scalded me. I managed to call an ambulance. I struggled to not pass out while waiting for it. When it arrived I stood up and walked toward the EMTs. I walked out of the shade and the sun hit me. Next thing I know I’m in the emergency room. It’s an incredible level of pain and the healing process is terrible also. The next time I smelled antifreeze after the accident I threw up. My incident was a result of my incompetence. Anyone who would purposely subject someone to this is pure evil.

I will not read this story.

My special needs boy doesn’t speak when outside the home. I am so glad I have him more protected than the stupid public school and that I am home to protect him. My heart breaks for this child and his family. I can’t even come up with a punishment severe enough for these evil perp kids.

I agree with you.

My son is the IDEAL victim with his not speaking, but following directions perfectly. I fought tooth and nail the school district last year because they wouldn’t give him an aide to keep him safe, nor did they guarantee his safety on playgrounds. We lost and I pulled him out. He is homeschooled / hybrid schooled this year. His classes at the hybrid school have 9-10 kids in them only, and the teachers and others look after him with kindness. Huge difference.

Except the pukes said they were going to take the big and light him on fire.....

Except the pukes said they were going to take the big and light him on fire.

Well not exactly:

“The other kids are saying that he was going to be riding his bike like he always is, my nephew Kayden is going to be riding his bike, and they said we’re going to grab him and take him inside and burn him,” Kayden’s aunt Kelly Mack told News4 San Antonio.

Who are these other kids? Why did the police not interrogate them if the other kids are kids other than the three detained? If they are the other kids who are the ones involved, then why would the sheriff say that they told him a completely different story? Besides, when did the aunt get the opportunity to talk to these boys involved? So far we are only hearing his aunt's claims. I believe that is considered hearsay and is not admissible in a court of law. Now I am not saying that this is not an accurate statement, but standing alone it carries little weight, as it should.

I have always been one to wait until I get more facts. It is easy to take someone's statements and treat them as gospel, but way too often they bear out to be inaccurate. This is especially true in these heart wrenching types of cases, because emotions run so high.

This is what happens when God is removed from our institutions, and when children are raised without a Dad.

One of a thousand reasons we homeschooled our kids. I remember how evil it was 40 years ago.

I went the homeschool route for a few years with mine, too. So glad you were able to get your son in the right environment.

When I saw Kerrville that’s what I thought

White kids

Breaking the usual trend

I’ve got boys in grade middle and high school

Usually special needs kids get treated right

But not always

[wardaddy]

Details don’t matter here very often when it’s rope time

You know that

And I’m guilty too sometimes

[wardaddy]

I actually did some research and discovered in just two minutes that investigators have:

Ruled out intentional

The kids were playing together and screwed up

Some of the burned kids relatives and crazy media claimed it was on purpose even though investigators and those there say otherwise

The coma is to relieve the pain

The poor kid has second degree burns over his torso and arms and neck

He is happily not in danger of dying from his burns

But I don’t want to dampen rope fever on this forum for 9 10 and 11 year old killers

No sir

I mean sometimes you just can’t make it up here

Rolling along plowing it all down
