Some results on son's beating - and again, THANK YOU ALL! :)

[Soybomb]

Well said Viper. I wish your son a speedy recovery and you success in getting these kids. Its hard to believe we're all part of the same race at times

 

[Renob]

Hope your sons ok. If it were me I would take things into my own hands and handle it that way.. But my way dose not work for most people out there in the real world.. Good luck

 

[jmcoreymv]

This may sound odd, but my professor was telling me about this tactic. Tell them that you are going to sue them all. Then contact one of them and tell him that if he confesses what really happened, you will drop the lawsuit on only him. Chances are he (or his parents will make him) confess to avoid the all the legal fees the lawsuit would bring about.

 

[nippyjun]

Don't forget to call the girls parents and let them know what happened. Maybe they can give you the names of the boys that beat up your son.

 

[bobtist]

I'm so sorry. I hope justice is served sooner than later... My regards and heart go out to you and your son.

 

[Viper GTS]

Renob...

I would be tempted to do the same thing. Under the circumstances it would probably require my wife physically restraining me to keep me from delivering justice with a 12-guage pistol grip mossberg.

However...

At 17, he needs his mother in his life - Not on Death Row. As unfair as it may be, justice has to run it's course, & unxpurg8d has a son to take care of.

Damn...

I can only hope that out of 6 guys and that girl you can get something out of them. Perhaps even though these 6 kids are worthless their parents, if contacted, would try and help. Parents protect their children but other times parents know that their kids need to be punished; my friend had something stolen from him before and the cops pursued the matter and the theif denied it but his mother later snooped in his closet and, finding the item, ratted on her son.

 

[Xzaver]

unxpurg8d , Do you know what it was all about ?



Geezus Christ man (btw i hardly swear) Never mind if he heals Physicaly You need to make sure he heals Emotionally

I don't know what more to say other than good luck And I will pray for you , your son , and your family.

~X~

Those kids, according to their story were just trying to get him to leave? I would think that if there were that many of them and they did that much damage, they could just have easily have picked up your son and took him outside to get him to leave. You have a valid case against them. If the cop said otherwise, he is delirious. This type of occurrance is an outrage and nobody has the right to use violence to resolve anything.

Has anyone come up with a motive yet?

I truly hope that your son has a speedy recovery.

 

[Zedfu]

burn the house of every single god dammed one of them down. :|
by the way, hope your son gets better soon

 

[ltk007]

Fscking bastards! :|

If I were anywhere near you I'd go over to their houses and one by one bash their skulls in with a baseball bat. Unfortunately I don't, so I hope you nail their asses in court. If they get away with this they'll probably just do it again to some other poor unsuspecting kid, dickheads like them always do. It just reaffirms my faith in humanity's incredible stupidity and ignorance I hope those sh|theads burn in hell.

 

[unxpurg8d]

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOO much, everyone. This was nice to wake up to. Not only the excellent advice, but even the really bad advice ( that pretty much mirrors what I REALLY wanna go do.)

Some background - my kid used to run with these guys before he straightened himself out last year, got a full-time job, and began planning for college.
The girl's house was used for this, probably with the mother's permission (the mother came out screaming at me and the alcohol on her breath about knocked me over) but that's impossible to prove since the mother was gone at the time this happened.
By the time the police arrived there were only two guys at the house - although the dogs started barking in the back yard and the motion light went on so it's a good guess the rest were bailing out the back.
At first they denied calling him, but when I pointed out that their name was on our caller ID they said they'd called to tell him NOT to come over.
While they were kicking him one of them stole his pager. They apparently gave it back to the police later, claiming it "fell off". They had to go get it from elsewhere, which is going to be hard to explain in court if there were only the two of them. The police officer dropped it off early this morning while I was still at the hospital. He is supposed to come back at seven tonight to talk to my son.

Motive? I really believe that they thought it would be "fun". As I said earlier, my son's a recovering head injury patient, and isn't quite like other kids. He doesn't think like them and his disabilities are pretty obvious to anyone who's around him for any length of time. I think for them it was a case of "beat up the retard". Not that he is, but if they didn't know what his problem was and that it's physical the teenage mentality of some kids would bring that conclusion.

I am not surprised by the kids' actions at all. Kids are pretty much rotten when in a mob mentality. I AM surprised by the cop's attitude that my son deserved it and was at fault and that it was all just a teenage prank. Even if their story were true, that hardly explains why kicking him after he was on the ground was a necessity. The broken eye socket could only have been done by a kick to the head.

I think that when the police officer shows up I'm going to insist that he only talk to my son after I've had a chance to contact an attorney. Can I DO that??????????


Again, thanks for all your support and caring. One of the things that makes this harder is I know nobody in this town and talking it over - or typing it - really helps.

 

[sharkeeper]

<< . I AM surprised by the cop's attitude that my son deserved it and was at fault and that it was all just a teenage prank. >>



Man that is horrible. Nobody deserves that for any kind of prank.

Many wishes for your son. The healing process (both mental physical) is a long and painful one.

Cheers!

 

[montanafan]

I can't believe the attitude of the police!!! Since when is it a &quot;prank&quot; to send someone to the hospital? That cop sounds like one sorry, lazy, bastard who doesn't want to be bothered.

I agree that the best strategy would be to pit these stupid little snot-nosed brats against one another. There's no way they'd have the guts to stand up to anyone by themselves. Once they don't have the rest of the gang backing them up, they fold really fast.

I hope your son heals quickly and completely both physically and emotionally. Good luck to you all.

 

[AgentOrange]

I never thought a simple thread on a forum could strike a nerve like yours has.I am totally OUTRAGED by this.The very same thing happened to my little brother(16) about 6 months ago.I know that violence is not the answer but these kids deserve the same thing they did to your son. I sure wish I could get my hands on this so called &quot;ringleader&quot; :|





<< Unfortunately in NC both are considered adults legally >>



Is that North Carolina?

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

That's horrible, that must of been one heck of a night you all had Looks like some good advice in here, I hope you can bring the people who beat up your son to justice.

 

[Missus]

I would get an attorney involved asap..



I would believe it of the cops... I think that teens and kids today are being treated so often as sub-humans...

Good Luck...

Loads of support...

 

[hopefloats]

Reading about this makes me feel very sad and nauseous.

unxpurg8d: I send both you and your son waves of healing energy.

 

[unxpurg8d]

Again, thank you all - it helps more than I can say.

AgentOrange, yep, here in North Carolina after 16 they're considered adults. I feel for your little brother, is he doing okay now??? What happened?


Anyone have a suggestion about how to find and choose an attorney for this???????? I have NO clue.

 

[iamwiz82]

unxpurg8d, i'm 18, and could not imagine that happening to me. May i ask a question, you said that he hung out with these kids years ago, why would they come after him?

Sorry about all of this, i hope your son recovers quickly and fully.

 

[eakers]

*hugs*
i hate hearing about stuff like this, you have to go after them despite what the police say. because police dont even think of teenagers as ppl.
im shocked that this happened though it happens a lot
If they get away with this they will think that its okay to do things like this.

*kat. <-- outraged.

 

[kranky]

That's a terrible thing, unxpurg8d. I hope that those kids pay for what they did. Good luck!

 

[unxpurg8d]

iamwiz82, you must hang out with better kids. The kind of kids that drop out of school, spend their spare time drinking and doing drugs, and think vandalism is a sport are pretty resentful of anyone who escapes that circle and better themselves. They're not friends with even each other, they're just the only people they can find to hang out with. My son couldn't see that - he kept saying &quot;but I know her, she's a friend.&quot; These kids do really rotten things for entertainment... other people are nothing to them.


:|

 

[AgentOrange]

unxpurg8d: My brother is doing just fine now. He was dating a girl and one night she tells him to meet her at the local mall. So he goes and come to find out she was cheating on her boyfriend with him. So the guy and a group of his THUGS decided to teach him a lesson. They beat him up pretty bad(broke jaw) and left him there. The girl just sat there and watched.BTW they were all 18+. Two of them still have cases against them and I have had my case thrown out.

Flamers: I know,I know I shouldnt of used violence to defeat violence but let it happen to your brother,son,daughter and see how you will take it.

 

[unxpurg8d]

Wow, AgentOrange, sounds so familiar. Glad to hear your brother's healing - the worst part is he's never going to feel totally safe again.

I know exactly what you mean about resorting to violence. The only thing that stops me is that no matter how much THEY deserve it, no mother deserves to sit in an emergency room all night and worry whether her child's going to be okay.... If I could've gotten to the girl who set this up last night I don't know that that logic would've been enough to stop me though.

Again, anyone have ANY ideas about how to find an attorney for this????? I really hate to just pick a random number out of the phone book.
