Has anyone noticed some of the articles in the daily newspaper? Some of the terrible crimes that children are being accused of. I saw on CNN that a boy 10 years old got blamed for throwing a cinder block at a man chasing him and damaged his face.

Quite frankly I am wondering what is wrong with CNN to post a picture of a boy that age, in shackles and handcuffs.. Like the arena in the old days, in other countries. It stated on their web site, come see the boy in shackles. I am very disappointed in CNN, for this kind of coverage.

Quite obviously I don't believe the boy did it. Have you ever tried to pick up a cinder block? Apparently the judge wasn't thinking.

It appears to me that the boy was running from the man, because the man was trying to hurt the boy. That the man tried to pick up the cinder block and fell backwards and the cinder block landed in his face. Thus, causing his own pain. I don't care what the man's face looks like, If he was chasing the boy, to kidnap him or molest or beat him, then he deserves the brick in his face.

The boy stood in court and didn't say a word because he had respect for the judge. The outcome of this Ridiculous case is that the boy had to go to a detention home till he was 18. And were the parents notified? I bet not. I bet he was carried off by a relative and left somewhere. Thus causing the boy extreme pain and fear.

The abductor, it appears to me was picking up the cinder block to throw it at the boys who were running away from the man, because he had threatened or beat the boys.

That the cinder block was so heavy that the man fell backwards, causing the cinder block to fall on his own face.

Takeaways
Did You Know?
Obviously, the 10 year old boy couldn't pick up a cinder block and throw it at a man. Even the grown man couldn't pick it up.
