Fort Lauderdale, FL-The teen who was burned last month by five other teens is going to have skin graft surgery. The doctors are now saying that he is in guarded condition. He is no longer on the ventilator that was keeping him alive. He is also not as heavily sedated any more. He wakes up and will ask him mom, "Am I going to be okay?" She will reply and tell him that he is going to be okay. She has not told him what has happened to him.
Three of the five boys have pleaded not guilty in the charge of attempted murder. There attorneys are saying that they are going to fight and try to make it where they are tried as juveniles. They are trying to say that juvenile detention is more about rehabilitation. The other two boys one 13 and the other 14 are being tried and juveniles.
I did this story when it first came out. I still find it heart wrenching. I am very glad to know that he is slowly recovering from his injuries. But I am very troubled over the fact that these attorneys are saying that they need to be tried as juveniles. They had to know what would happen if you set a person on fire.
You cannot tell me that any of these boys did not know that. Anyone who thinks that is a moron. They have the wool pulled way too tight over their eyes. I understand that they cannot legally vote, but these boys should of thought about their actions and the consequences that would come of this. They need to try them as adults and start showing these kids that you have to be prepared to face the consequences for your actions.
