This is shocking, and way beyond anything I can fathom.
You just cannot comprehend the anger and mentality of these two boys to carry out sick acts on another child like this!
I don't think for one minute that these boys had a 'normal' upbringing, and I think evaluations should be done on all of their family unit members.

Have these kind of crimes by young children always happened before or is it just because of the communications around the world we tend to see more of them? Still wondering about the parents, guardians.
