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

[Angrymarshmello]

purged - that is the most horrible thing I've ever heard happening to a young kid. I really truly hope that he gets better. And I am glad that the police finally believe him and I hope they punish their asses to the full extent of the law.

If I ever had a son that that happened to I would kill all those teenage punks. Touching a family member would send me over the brink. (I have a nasty temper when people mess with my family) I'm just glad you had the sense to call the police and trust their judgement that they would take care of this.

Again, I hope your son gets better and keep us informed on what will happen to those rat ass bastards who did this to your son.

I agree with RGN, wtf is wrong with humanity these days? It so depressing seeing all the negativity and hatred in the world smothering all that could be eautiful about it. I hope you and your family all the best and may justice prevail. Someone(can't remember who) said to sue the household. I think this is a good idea. Since your son was in the house, they are legally responsible(I believe) for damages done on their property. If she has any sense, this will cause the girl to sing like a bird and rat out the boys. Best of luck.

I hope you get those bastards in jail! I'm really sorry about what's happened to your son.

Just be happy he's alive and you atleast know who did it. I lost a friend who got shot by accident. He was at the wrong place and the wrong time. No one knows who did it. We come to school and hear that he's not there anymore. =( There are a lot of sick and f**ked up bastards that need to get shot. I hope you get them one by one..

I've dealt with these sort of situations before. The gut instinct is to sue, and to tell you the truth, if I were in your situation I would. But that wouldn't be thinking very well. In life, you have to choose your fights. There are some fights just not worth fighting, even if you know you're going to win. You can sue these kids for what little they have or for all they'll ever have, but they won't learn. Instead, focus your energies on criminal prosecution. These kids are old enough that they think they can play with the big boys. Let them play with the big boys behind bars. A lawsuit will get you money but will have cost you time and energy just not worth expending on these scum. What you need to do, and what your first priority should be, is to ensure that when and if these kids are found guilty, that the judge hands down the maximum sentence for such an offense. Their act was unnecessary, unwarranted, viscious, premeditated, conspired, and most of all cowardly. Ensure that their punishment fits the crime.

I do believe that there are some criminals capable of rehabilitating. But don't give them the benefit of the doubt - they're criminals. If they feel like being rehabilitated, they'll ask for it from behind bars as far as I'm concerned. I know that in Canada there is a tendency towards leniant punishments for these offences because of their age. Just make sure these kids aren't treated leniantly.

Befriend the Crown Attorney (or whatever the American equivalent is) and keep on top of things. Let him/her know what you've told us - the fact that your son has had prior head injuries, that he was "friends" with them...everything. The judge will need the whole picture in handing down the sentence.

Good Luck and I sure hope everything settles down and your son recovers well.

My sincerest wishes for you and your son.

I also believe that you may file a civil lawsuit against the owner of the house. Otherwise, most of the good advice has already been said.

 

[iceliquid]

unxpurg8d,

My heart aches for your son and your family and I hope a small resolution, though such an atrocity can never truely be resolved, comes soon so that your family can have some peace.

You and your son are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[convex]

it's called a posse

 

[convex]

i'll help round it up too...

 

[OS]

No one has mentioned this, but your son may also need counseling. If you have health insurance, this is usually covered. Sorry to add another worry, but we must consider both the physical and the emotional injuries.

I am sorry to hear about this. The most important thing is that your son recovers fully. The second most important thing is to see that these bastards get what they deserve.

I am glad to hear that the police have warrants out for them.

 

[flippinfleck]

All I can really say is WTF is wrong with people nowadays??? Do they really have nothing better to do than to hurt another person? These are the kind of people that grow up to live in trailers and beat their wives in front of their umpteen children. I wish your son a full and speedy recovery.


Oh yeah, what street did you say this girl lived on?:frown:

 

[bcterps]

I was incredibly shocked and upset reading this thread. Your family is definitely in my thoughts and prayers. Please, let us know how this turns out and if we can be of any more assistance. I wish I could help more. I really dont know anything about finding a good attorney. Make sure you, your family, friends, and community put pressure on your District Attorney to press criminal charges and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

[Sohcan]

OMFG, I just read the thread, and I think I'm going to be sick...

unxpurg8d, I hope your son makes a full recovery and the degenerate creeps get what they deserve.

 

[Shaftatplanetquake]

Man thats crappy.

Good luck ...

<< unxpurg8d, I hope your son makes a full recovery and the degenerate creeps get what they deserve. >>


Ditto. And, please continue to keep us posted.

 

[DABANSHEE]

The thing is we are only getting one side of the story

&amp; how does unxpurg8d know what happened, he/she is going by what here son said, &amp; if there's one thing I know, one should not take what a child says as gospel.

Sure it could have occured just the way that unxpurg8d says, but its at least just as likely it didn't occure that way.

BTW, Frenchie's not totally correct, its is quite within ones commonlaw rights to remove someone from one's own property using force (otherwise all the bouncers at nightclubs would be breaking the law everytime they were required to kick someone out) , but one is only required to use the bare minimum
force necessary.

I remember when I was sharing a house in Lidocombe, &amp; one of my flat mates had this girl come over to stay the night &amp; she was still there at least a month later, just hanging arround all the time. Well anyway she was really getting on my nerves (&amp; everyone elses too) - I think she was an alco or something, she was always drunk &amp; would never shutup, she just kept raving on &amp; on, it made it impossible to watch the Telly, or read the paper or anything. She also kepted picking fights with everyone, so one day I'd had enough &amp; told her to go. Well she refused to go, so I just pushed her through the house, out the front door, off the balconey &amp; pushed her down the stairs.

Well she called the cops &amp; claimed I assaulted her, but 2 flat mates &amp; the bloke next door both said that I never once hit or kicked her, all I did was push her off my property &amp; the police determined that I just used the minimum force necessary, so they then told the girl off, then drove off.

Anyway I hope the kid recovers ok &amp; can learn to put it all behind him.

 

[unxpurg8d]

Dabanshee, you're right - this is only one side of the story. However, you must've missed the part where I said even if everything they said was TRUE, that doesn't mean six guys beating the hell out of one handicapped kid and kicking him in the face hard enough to break bones was warranted. And they stole his $150 pager out of righteous indignation? Ooooooooooooookay.

By the way, your phrasing it &quot;at least as likely&quot; rather than &quot;just as likely&quot; is flat out insulting.

I HEARD his side of the phone calls they made luring him over there. I don't have to prove a damn thing to you, but nice of you to assume that my side of the story's wrong simply because you haven't heard the other side.

 

[amb#cog]

GL has made the most sense so far, and this is exactly what I was thinking. Sue what? People like this don't have anything worth taking, but their freedom. Try to take it man.


unxpurg8d I can't begin to explain the emotions going through me right now (outrage?). Therefore I can't even imagine how you feel. I'm soooo sorry this happened. I got some similar calls when I was a kid, and my dad wouldn't let me go to meet any of em. It was always a girl, or girls too. This is an old trick, with a new crueler trick. When I was a kid. It wasn't quite as violent, and they wouldn't have gone this far.

I also like the idea of pitting em against each other, and I'm sure the cops will try this anyway. It's an old trick also.

I wish your son a speedy recovery, and can't agree enough about the mental aspects of this. This is gonna change him. Please keep a close eye on him, and spend as much time as possible with him. Otherwise he may be headed down one hellish road. This unfortunately is going to affect him for a long time, but with help he can be okay.

DABANSHEE I don't care what &quot;the other side of the story&quot; is. 6 on one, and a broken eye socket is a bit extreme no matter what the circumstances are. C'mon man think about it! :Q

 

[PistachioByAzul]

Don't mean to be insensitive, but how can you be sure it was 6 on 1. A good blow to the eye is all it takes for a broken eye socket. Were there any other serious injuries?

If it happened exactly as described then those kids should be lined up and shot, but there are two sides to every story.

 

[unxpurg8d]

EngineNr9, first - the police have placed five boys at the scene already. Second - I have pictures of my son with long marks made by a flexible metal baton and what are obviously kick marks on his body. Again, find me a reason that even ONE physically whole person should be striking someone with a baton and kicking anyone - much less a handicapped kid - while he's down and I'll concede that there's another more valid side to the story.

EDIT: For those of you who've been so supportive and caring, I really DO appreciate it and hope you know how much it's helped when I needed to know that.

I'm glad to see that the police are doing something to bring these clowns to justice. Best wishes to you &amp; your son.

 

[randomlinh]
