    Oh Julia! This is absolutely tragic. This crushes my heart for this family and the loss of their son. I was alive in the states but never heard this story before now. It is horrible to me how anyone can take the life of a child. It is an insidious mind that could do something that cruel. It breaks my heart. I do pray he is resting easy with his parents in God's arms. Bless you for bringing it to us to remember him by. 🙏♥️

    Honestly killing a child that fellow should have been hung by the neck until dead, wouldn’t bring the boy back but the punishment would fit the crime.
