Just read this as it's trending on fb rn & it made me cry. My nephew Kaden is around the same age & exhibits "family traits," (and his mom's name is Kelly) making this all that much harder to read.

Prayers for Kayden Culp.

Ok. I did a search for "set on fire" as well as "Kayden Culp" and didn't get any results. I'm not going to browse every forum before posting a thread.

The search function never works for me on WP, though if you google a topic with "Wrong Planet" in the search request, you can find any active thread on a topic.

These demons remind me of that young pair of kids who tortured that kid james bulger some decades ago, they kidnapped him from a shopping mall or something and dropped a brick on his face, shoved coloured markers up his orifices and then left him on a bloody train track to be literally cut in half if I recall it right, some people are just born sick in the head.

I hope that fool of an ABA practitioner who was preaching last year that there are "10 reasons" why bullying is good for AS victims is going to be ashamed of herself today.

I'm pretty sure bullying, if unchecked, never stops till the victim is killed. Of course, I can't usually say this without being shut up by someone seizing the chance to look like the voice of sanity by appealing to moderation and calling me paranoid, but there's you some more evidence. It's hard to deny we have a primal instinct to get rid of weak members of our tribe.

I called it attempted murder (see the linked thread). Bullying culture enables these murderous hate crimes.

This is beyond bullying. It's psychopathic. I think they need to be locked up for a very long time.

They are saying this before they have a chance to take a statement from the victim? They are relying on the statements of the perpetrators only? Are they counting on the boy's death to silence him forever? This is a travesty.

I like to think we do things differently here, and as far as I can see, we do; there are complex inquiries following an incident like this. Expert witnesses assess all factors. The opinion of one official carries little weight, as does the "we didn't do it" initial claims of the suspects.

If cops do it routinely when they shoot someone—preferably a dark-skinned someone—and take care to make sure they're dead before anyone else gets involved, why wouldn't other bullies fight for the same prerogative?

That's very sad news. I hope those young sociopaths get tried as adults.

Yeah thats was an awful time in the UK realising what those two kids did. I remember the media blaming it on the horror film "Childs Play"
