They have no parents no family bond they have no clue what love is or have the lord in there hearts just hatred this is there life. What do you expect people to come out of this to drive up or walk up to someone and kill them. What did you have on your mind at this age think what could make a person do this they had no one teach them from right or wrong. I fear that I would have to face one of these boy and have to take there life and having to live with it the rest of my life because they had no good parents that is so sad.

This is a really sad story and I feel for the family that this has happened to, but we all make mistakes.

Slimjim, I have to say that I agree with you 100%

Spare the rod spoil the child. Barfbag you're an idiot. Granted I don't want somebody else spanking my children other than me, but until parents can pull their heads out of their a#$ these kids are never going to learn discipline.

My question would be, Does the mayor really need a Chief of Staff? What does that position pay? How about letting the mayor act as HER OWN chief of staff.

paddling is a sex "fetish" they never seem to mention when it comes to this subject.

A recent news headline reads, “Nearly 60,000 spankings in Miss. schools last year." "Ouch! For the second time in a month, a school district in Leflore County has been hit with a $500,000 (each) lawsuit from a student alleging injuries from a paddling. It was reported that a state legal adviser, who told Bristol, Tennessee Director of Schools Gary Lilly that while school principals who paddled students were legally protected from allegations of assault, they were not immune from accusations of inappropriate or improper touching. School boards are asking for trouble to sanction a practice that is intended to inflict pain. Make no mistake: beating schoolchildren on their pelvic area with a wooden board causes more problems than it corrects -- if it corrects any at all. Teacher-training programs do not include instruction in the "correct method" for hitting students. Zero tolerance for weapons and violence is the standard that should apply to everyone in educational settings. Teachers included What corporal punishment does accomplish is to degrade the teaching profession, drive good people away, and make the teaching field a safe haven for the dangerously unfit. Its net effect on schools is a negative one. The more that schools indulge in paddling, the higher the dropout rate, along with all the social ills that follow, e.g., gang activity, addiction, mental health problems, unemployment, etc. The time is long over due for our lawmakers and education policy makers to apply the zero-tolerance rule universally. When paddlers complain, as some inevitably will, they should be advised to look beyond their classroom walls and see how schoolchildren are managed violence free throughout the civilized world. They should look and learn from the 30 states where corporal punishment in schools is forbidden by law. U.S. Congress held hearings on Abusive and DEADLY practices in SCHOOLS and MUST ABOLISH Corporal Punishment of Children in Schools, the cost $0.
