How do they live with themselves? Really, really sick. Did he report the incident to the police? People like that should be locked up and given a few electric shocks every day. Perhaps it would rewire their evil little brains.

A number of my students have participated in such "random" attacks as part of getting "jumped into" gangs. I do not understand such cruelty. I couldn't even spank my children! I can yell, but no violence!<br /><br />I hope that by now, your boy's face is on the mend and your headache is a weak memory. 2015 has been and up and down year for your family!Caffeine Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073716022646773106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-24258007200796283842015-08-15T20:59:32.051-04:002015-08-15T20:59:32.051-04:00I just don't know what to say.

Such an awful story but unfortunately a familiar one. My daughter is a recent graduate of Ohio State and my son will start his freshman year there next week. So many are correct: your son's attack was a senseless act, and one that happens way too often around town and campus. My daughter's sophomore year saw a whole slew of these "random" acts; the police said they were being done as gang initiations. Ridiculous. The school (and town) are actually phenomenal; wish they could get a handle on the crime. Glad to know your son is on the mend!<br /><br />ElleElle Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11563633298659967269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-92122119565515239102015-08-15T06:38:53.043-04:002015-08-15T06:38:53.043-04:00That really is sad news, how awful for you all to ...That really is sad news, how awful for you all to have to go through something like that.

Why would we expect that others out on the streets would think they also simply can do whatever they please when this is what we see on TV and in the headlines every single day. Compassion and decency seem to have been lost in the world and we are definitely the losers. I was always told to lead by example... I truly do not understand. So glad you have him home for a few days for your own sanity. People with small children obsess over each burp and bump,,,,they have no idea of what is ahead in parenting. It never ends. As they get older and bigger, so do the problems and concerns.
