    Honestly wish I could unsee this head line and not read the story. Sad and depressing.

    Story says he is 8 and the sister is 12, but then also said he was 7. Very confusing.

    I think this will get a lot more depressing as the details come out.

    The way they are describing this boy's size, he might be physically handicapped.

    It looks like they piled updates on top of the earlier versions.

    Very sad, though

    1. Jesus has nothing to do with this.

    2. This thread should be appended immediately onto the death penalty thread.

    Yeah the reporting on the ages has changed a few times. Will amend the title, though there still doesn't seem to be any official confirmation of the girl's age.

    I'm guessing a certain Princeton freshman never had to defend his sister from a rape when he was 8.

    I'm guessing he wasn't left to raise five siblings when his mom was killed during an attempted robbery, either. But Warrick Dunn was. Did he do OK for himself?

    Christ. This was just a couple of miles from my house.
