Fla. teen set on fire; 3 juveniles in custody

Three juveniles are in custody in Florida after a 15-year-old boy was doused with a flammable liquid and set on fire.

[NOTHING AMAZES ME ANYMORE]

SICKENING! Those 3 boys should face severe consequesnces. What is wrong with kids these days?!?! I blame the parents! Anyone raised with an ounce of morality wouldn't attempt something like this.

Not true!!!! Parents ! parents Parent always blamming the parents. We show them the best but street take over. My mother took care of me and show me what was wrong and right and she always was by my side 100% taking care and making sure i got the right path and guess what i did what i wanted to be because i choose!!!! but i agree with you those 3 boys should face serve consequesnces.

Parents can only do so much. Sometimes even the best parents have kids who decide to go their own way. They are responsible for raising their children the best they can and most (thankfully) do this and the kids turn out fine. Occasionally you'll see the bad parent and the kid still makes out just fine. Then you get the kid who simply cannot be tamed no matter what you do.

I have no idea what the situation is with these kids, but they are just plain sick - not legally insane or anything like that, but obviously something is sorely lacking in them.

I certainly do hope these kids face majorly severe consequences, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Due to their ages, I'm sure they'll get the proverbial slap in the hands and released when they're 21. Ugh.

[i am bored]

What the F* k is up with this ??? These kids are really messed up !

The problem is the ages and they will only see minimal sentences because they are juveniles.

Crimes like this are not little boys mishaps. They are evil crimes and they need to be put away for a very very long time.

This poor kid...I pray that he recovers quickly and can live a normal life with minimal, if any, scarring.

My heart and prayers go out to this family. I saw the mother on the Today show this am and saw her breakdown. it was extremely sad.

[No one important]

Every child is different for different reasons. Sometimes it is the parents and sometimes it is simply the kid. In this case I would say there is something mentally wrong with the kids who did this. Until you meet the parents...don't point the finger.

I really think that it's about time someone who we the people voted for stops our govenor from all these rediclious cuts that he wants. Please tell me that no one will vote for him in the future.

These kids today are get the immpression that they are gangsters, well the real gangster are in prison and i hope they meet them real soon. Then they wont have to worry about no one snitching anymore

[got a clue]

Now if that don't deserve a caning...What would?
I hope that kids family doesn't get mad enough to burn the perps homes down with them in it.
I'm afraid that what those pukes did would put me over the line and get some really pathetic excuses for human beings some serious pain inflicted upon every inch of thier soon to be dead bodies.

as disturbing is that it took 28 minutes for 1st responders to arrive. there is a fire station about 1 mile away. these are the same people that want a raise?
