I could not read this without crying. Should a sad story.
I did wonder why am eight year old would be left un anaccompanied to go to camp.

I remember growing up we'd wonder of for hours playing and basic blaggarding, report home to get fed and be on our merry way again. I now have a 9 yr old and he strictly is not allowed leave the street.

Have you or would you let an 8 yr old make their own way to camps / school/ clubs etc

What kind of idiots let an 8 year old walk around alone?

I wasn't allowed outside my front garden alone until I was 12.

Latchy · 14-07-2011 09:57PM

Made all the worse because it was his first time he was left to venture on his own and who does he meet ? the one adult no child who's lost want's to meet ........the devil himself .Horrific byond words

Very common. Woula cost his parents $100-200 dollars a year or so to have him tracked via mobile phone by the likes of Top security. No way my kids go beyond camera range if I'm not with them.

kirving · 14-07-2011 10:01PM

You've got to balance being alert, with being ridiculously overbearing. It's worse if the child has no freedom at all. Not allowed outside till you were 12?! :eek:

99.999% of people would help the child get home, it's just an extremely sad coincidence that he asked the wrong person.

Dismemberment is common?

And what does that last sentence mean, its confusing?

The same kind of idiot that shouldn't be having children in the first place.

jimthemental · 14-07-2011 10:05PM

Sick bástard. Poor kid, it's a horrific story.

Needler · 14-07-2011 10:05PM

Great lets not let any children outside the house because one of them got put in a freezer.

At least if they outside playing they're not getting fat. Obesity is a much bigger problem than kidnapping

krudler · 14-07-2011 10:07PM

Thats fcuked up

El Guapo! · 14-07-2011 10:10PM

Sick fúck should be chopped up himself.

How times have changed! I was allowed out alone when I was about 8 or 9, plus having to walk a mile to and from school, I was even younger then.

Only met one odd person, He seemed harmless at the time, these days he'd most definitely be "taken out".

The Princess Bride · 14-07-2011 10:24PM

As a parent,it's really difficult to decide at what stage to stand back and let your child make those seriously independent steps by themselves, walking to school alone,going into town to meet pals etc...and it's not helped by these rejects from the jackass factory.The pile seems to be getting bigger and more toxic every day.

Horrible story-horrible.

sadly it only takes one

Guys. It's brooklin. Wasn't that place with very bad reputation? Adults would be scared, I am not even talking about alone boy.

There are places where you can let your kids alone, but some places are too dangerous. Thought you newer know where you cam meet a freak like that

sunflower27 · 14-07-2011 10:38PM

That poor little boy. His parents must be absolutely devastated beyond belief.

Boxoffrogs · 14-07-2011 11:02PM

What kind of idiots don't let children be children any more???
Yes this is a shocking story, but not the first time something like this has happened in the history of the universe. I've read about much sicker events from the 20's and 30's. In fact, right throughout recorded history there have been events to rival this. The only thing that has changed is our perception of crime.

I'm sure the parents of this child cared more about him than the people of After Hours who would condemn them.

BESman · 14-07-2011 11:02PM

Your man needs to be blasted with piss. Big shtyle.

dark crystal · 14-07-2011 11:05PM

I think I'm correct in saying 20 blocks is approxiamtely equivelent to 1 mile (give or take), so 7 blocks wouldn't be that far at all, especially if the parents had arranged to meet him half way.

When I was his age, I walked a longer distance than that to and from school every day.

Still, it is such an awful tragedy - I can't imagine how his parents must feel right now.

keane2097 · 14-07-2011 11:10PM

The people who are lambasting the parents are seriously retarded, the walk was like 400 yards.

Much safer for an adult to walk that 400 yards than a child, and the parents were meeting him halfway anyway.

This is an extremely unlikely case but the kid could, and did apparently, get lost amongst other things (e.g. hit by a car).

Letting children be children and giving them freedom is one thing, expecting them to walk through a major city known for crime alone is another.

Perhaps his parents felt he would be safe in such a close knit, ultra- orthadox Hisadic community. I would think crime is pretty rare in such communities.

It seems sadly, as if this poor boy just got very, very unlucky

That's the whole deal ,in a neighbourhod were everybody supposedly knew each other , poor kid walks 400 yards , his first taste of freedom and of all the people he could have met he meets this abomination .

BluesBerry · 14-07-2011 11:23PM

Poor child, the parents are not to blame god only knows how they feel now with the whys

Fcuking basturd should be tortured slowly very very slowly

There are some crazy people out there.

stovelid · 15-07-2011 12:02AM

I walked equally as far alone at that age as most of us probably did.

The sad fact is that you probably cannot guard fully against this kind of rare horrible thing happening to your kid which as a parent makes me want to cry even thinning about it.

greenybaby · 15-07-2011 12:38AM

This world is becoming a terrible place

there is something new (to do with kids) nearly everyday, bring back capital punishment and have it in EVERY country
