If I am trying to protect anything, it is an objective inquiry of truth. I get more hopping mad at an incident like this than almost anybody else, if it is true. Perhaps the MRI and CAT scans of the kidneys will tell a consistent story and rule out accident or illness as a cause. But getting whacked for 90 minutes over a bare or T-shirted back with a 1" stick is going to look much worse than that picture even after several days. It reminds me of the G-rated depiction of Christ in the Jesus film after the "brutal flogging" when he scarcely had a scratch.

I was on this post yesterday,didn't see anything on the news last night.

I also still don't like the smell of this story,now that the father of the two admits they may have switched the boy,I still think that maybe it went bad when the kid got home,step Dad angry at his defiant son getting in trouble again,kicked his ass,realized he hurt him bad,so bad HE would get in trouble when he took him to the hospital,tells the kid to say it was the preachers boys,family backs him up to keep him out of jail. Then there is another part of me that is saying he got his ass kicked on the street,and needs a cover up.....

I still want to read a transcript of the statements,and the other side of me wants to whip the two ninnys and salt um....
